Lexical Resources

EDAs can use external resources like WordNet, VerbOcean and Wikipedia to make their calculation. Some of these resources are distributed with EOP and ready for use whereas others have to be installed before using them. In the rest of this page we report the available resources and for some of them the procedure that has been used to create them.

1. Resources Index

The table below reports the available resources (Resource), which language they can be used with (LG) and if they are ready for use or have to be installed (INSTL; "YES" if it needs to be installed, "NO" otherwise). When the resources have to be installed, prerequisite (P) refers to the tools you need to have already installed to do that. EDAs that are using those resources are reported too (EDA) whereas the filed description (DES) contains links to the resource pages.

* We use an asterisk (i.e. *) to mark resources that are available for a specific EDA only. Other EDAs cannot use it. It could be due to the fact that the resource does not implement the expected interface yet and so the other EDAs cannot deal with it.

Resources available by language:

• English resources
• German resources
• Italian resources
