This is the first proper release of the new RDF-native DanNet! 🥳

Please note that any hyperlinks in the description below will resolve to whatever the current version of DanNet is, not this particular release which is instead available in the attached .zip-files. This Github repository currently serves as an archive of the DanNet releases.

Overview of data

DanNet is based on the Ontolex standard with additions from the Global WordNet Association. You can explore DanNet directly on wordnet.dk, but you may also download our data as an RDF data set or in a slightly more limited CSV edition. All our data sets are published under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license.

DanNet is integrated with COR and DDS too. These alternative RDF data sets can also be downloaded on this page (COR integration og DDS integration).

You may also download DanNet+COR+DDS as a combined data set or download a complete copy of all the data that can be found on wordnet.dk/dannet, including logically inferred data and associated RDF schemas.

Changelog

There are too many changes in this initial release to list all of them in a succinct way:

  • Around 5000 new senses have been added, mostly adjectives.
  • Many data set inconsistencies and other undesirable properties have been cleaned up.
  • The entirety of DanNet has been converted to the Ontolex standard and uses the relations from the Global WordDet Association.
  • DanNet is now RDF-native; RDF schemas are also available covering e.g. the ontological types.
  • The DSL-derived DanNet IDs all resolve to actual RDF resources which can be viewed in a browser.
  • Several companion data sets are available for download and are also merged with the data on wordnet.dk.
  • Additional data points have also been inferred from the bootstrap data, e.g. inverse relations.
  • The CSV download is now CSVW and includes metadata files describing contents of the columns.
  • The DanNet data is now licensed as CC BY-SA 4.0 and the source code of the project is available under the MIT licence.
  • ... and of course wordnet.dk/dannet is the new home of DanNet.

In addition to the work done on DanNet itself, we have also contributed to the Global WordNet Association's RDF schema.
