Semantiske relationer i en ny dansk begrebsordbog: genbrug på tværs af ordbøger

Abstract

This article discusses the synergies between thesauri, wordnets and
semasiological dictionaries, describing how the lexical data from a
wordnet (DanNet), as well as the data from a monolingual dictionary
(The Danish Dictionary), are being used to establish a Danish
thesaurus. In opposition to other thesauri, this one’s main organizing
principle is the grouping of words by semantic criteria. It thus
combines words from different parts of speech in different types of
groups. Furthermore, a number of formalized data on the words’ semantic
relations leave us with a large number of possibilities when it
comes to using thesaurus information in the online presentation of
The Danish Dictionary. It also means that the thesaurus can be used
to extend the number of semantic relations in DanNet.
