 Dear colleagues,

allow me to point you attention to the first book dedicated to the LMF
Lexical Markup Framework, Gil Francopoulo (Editor)
ISBN: 978-1-84821-430-9, 288 pages, March 2013, Wiley-ISTE
(http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1848214308.html).

Description:

The community responsible for developing lexicons for Natural Language
Processing (NLP) and Machine Readable Dictionaries (MRDs) started their
ISO standardization activities in 2003. These activities resulted in the
ISO standard – Lexical Markup Framework (LMF).
After selecting and defining a common terminology, the LMF team had to
identify the common notions shared by all lexicons in order to specify a
common skeleton (called the core model) and understand the various
requirements coming from different groups of users.
The goals of LMF are to provide a common model for the creation and use
of lexical resources, to manage the exchange of data between and among
these resources, and to enable the merging of a large number of
individual electronic resources to form extensive global electronic
resources.
The various types of individual instantiations of LMF can include
monolingual, bilingual or multilingual lexical resources. The same
specifications can be used for small and large lexicons, both simple and
complex, as well as for both written and spoken lexical representations.
The descriptions range from morphology, syntax and computational
semantics to computer-assisted translation. The languages covered are
not restricted to European languages, but apply to all natural
languages.
The LMF specification is now a success and numerous lexicon managers
currently use LMF in different languages and contexts.
This book starts with the historical context of LMF, before providing
an overview of the LMF model and the Data Category Registry, which
provides a flexible means for applying constants like /grammatical
gender/ in a variety of different settings. It then presents concrete
applications and experiments on real data, which are important for
developers who want to learn about the use of LMF.
