[Corpora-List] Lexicon with semantic features needed

[Patrick Cassidy]

Are there any similar resources -- semantic dictionaries or semantic taggers --
that are freely available without restrictions?  Even for commercial use?

I am trying to organize an effort to develop a common semantic vocabulary that
can serve as an inventory of concepts adequate to specify the meanings of terms
in any domain (Google the acronym ONTACWG for details).  This will allow precise
relations to be found between terms in any community terminology, and provide a
resource for semantic interoperability.   For this project, the core resource --
  the common semantic model -- will have to be available to the public without
restriction (except for acknowledgment of the source), so anything included in
it will have to be similarly unrestricted.
