<big>LatinWordNet contains information about the following aspects of
the Latin and English lexicon: lexical relations between words,
semantic relations between lexical concepts, correspondences between
Latin and English lexical concepts. LatinWordNet covers nouns, verbs,
adjectives and adverbs, and contains 8,978 synsets in correspondence
with the English equivalents (and with all the MultiWordNet-based
wordnets).</big></big></span></span><big><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></big></big></big></big></big><br>

<b>ELRA-M0049 Basque WordNet</b><span class="Apple-style-span"

<big>The Basque WordNet models nouns, verbs and adjectives. Each
sense
is linked to a so-called synset (for a total of 30,281 Synsets). Every
synset encodes the synonymy relation between (possibly) several words
(synonyms), having a unique meaning, belonging to one and the same part
of speech (specified in the POS tag value), and expressing the same
lexical meaning. Each synset is related to the corresponding synset in
the English WordNet 1.6. via its identification number ID, which
includes the synset number and the POS tag. The only exceptions are
newly created synsets to account for cultural concepts not present in
WordNet 1.6.</big></big></span></span><big><span style="" lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></big></big></big></big></big><br>

<b>ELRA-S0300 SIGNUM Database</b><span class="Apple-style-span"
style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><big><big><big><big><big><span

<big>The SIGNUM Database contains both isolated and continuous
utterances of various signers. The corpus was recorded on video. For
quick random access to individual frames, each video clip is stored as
a sequence of images. The vocabulary comprises 450 basic signs in
German Sign Language (DGS) representing different word types. Based on
this vocabulary, overall 780 sentences were constructed. Each sentence
ranges from two to eleven signs in length. The entire corpus was
performed once by 25 native signers of different sexes and ages. One of
them was chosen to be the so-called reference signer. His performances
were recorded three times.</big></big></span></span><big><span style=""
