> There has been a lot of interest over the past decade in WordNet
> (http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/), a thesaurus-like semantic network
> that has many NLP applications including (but not limited to) machine
> translation and multilingual (or cross-lingual) information retrieval.
>
> Among the languages which have attracted higher interest recently are some
> of the "low-density" languages, in which very little research and  resources
> exist. A semantic network in such a language would be a very useful
> resource; however, the amount of needed resources and the length of time
> needed to hand-construct such a network is often prohibitive. To add to the
> problem, some minority languages (especially the indigeneous languages) have
> very different language structures, which may become problematic when
> attempting to fit concepts in those languages to wordnet hierarchies which
> were constructed for languages such as English.
>
> The goal of this one-day workshop is to explore issues surrounding the
> construction of semantic networks, including the construction of wordnets
> for minority languages and multilingual wordnets. In addition, we would like
> to invite papers and demos on industrial applications.
