Adding a wordnet to the GWG: adding concepts to the ILI (Francis and John)

In this part of the workshop, we will look at any issues that have arisen from trying to add new wordnets to the GWG.

Before the conference, starting from December the 17th, we will encourage people to add their wordnets to the prototype interface hosted at NTU. Instructions are here.

Some anticipated issues are:

• What kinds of links should a new concept be linked by?
• How far can a definition be changed?
• Should we provide labels to ili concepts?
• What licenses are ok?

Our preliminary answers are given in the papers, and on the ili page (this page will move to its final position after the workshop).

The goal of this discussion is to identify and hopefully solve problems with the roll-out of the ILI.
