We are pleased to announce the MWN.PT-MultiWordNet of Portuguese 1.0,
which can be browsed at http://mwnpt.di.fc.ul.pt

This wordnet spans over 17,200 manually validated concepts/synsets,
that are made of over 21,000 word senses/word forms and 16,000 lemmas
from both European and American variants of Portuguese.These concepts
are aligned with the translationally equivalent concepts of the
English Princeton WordNet and, transitively, of the MultiWordNets of
Italian, Spanish, Hebrew, Romanian and Latin.

For further details, including information on its distribution, see:
