The focus of this special issue is on linking wordnets together into a coherent whole. In particular we focus on the Open Multilingual Wordnet (OMW), which has brought many wordnets together, and the Collaborative Interlingual Index (CILI) which provides a way to link and share new synsets without going through the Princeton Wordnet (PWN). The issue will consist of two kinds of papers:
(i) invited papers dealing with the open multilingual wordnet, collaborative interlingual index and issues of dealing with multiple formats. These should generally be under 15 pages in length (not including references).
(ii) open papers describing individual wordnets and any issues in linking them --- extensions that cannot (yet) be linked, coordination problems. The wordnets must be part of the open multilingual wordnet: released under an open license and formatted as LMF. These should generally be 10 pages in length (not including references), but can be longer if a single paper deals with multiple wordnets.
(iii) open papers on other related topics. These should be under 15 pages in length (not including references).

details on formatting and submitting the wordnet.
Papers on individual wordnets should fit within 10 pages (plus references). This limit can be extended for papers covering multiple languages and/or wordnets. Papers will follow a shared format with sections on the current state of a described wordnet (including basic statistics and canonical citation), a brief history of (methods of) its construction as well as peculiarities of its structure and a review of uses and applications.

Please follow the formatting advice in the paper sample, as well as the computational linguistics style guidelines.
