Abstract
In this short paper, we describe how we converted dictionary and wordlist data made available by the QuantHistLing project into the Lexicon Model for Ontologies. By doing so, we leverage Linked Data to combine disparate lexical resources – more than fifty lexicons and dictionaries – by converting the lexical data into an RDF model that is specified by Lemon. The resulting new Linked Data resource, what we call the QHL dataset, provides researchers with a translation graph, which allows users to query across the underlying lexicons and dictionaries to extract semantically-aligned wordlists.
