We are happy to announce the availability of a new version of GermaNet
(release 8.0).

GermaNet is a lexical-semantic net that relates German nouns, verbs, and
adjectives semantically by grouping lexical units that express the same
concept into synsets and by defining semantic relations between these synsets.
GermaNet has much in common with the English WordNet
(http://wordnet.princeton.edu) and can be viewed as an on-line thesaurus or a
light-weight ontology.

GermaNet has been developed and maintained within various projects by the
research group for General and Computational Linguistics (Director: Prof. Dr.
Erhard Hinrichs) at the University of Tübingen since 1997.

The most important extensions to this GermaNet release compared to the
previous release are:

1: New synsets and lexical units for all word categories, and new relations
have been added.

2: Nominal compounds have been split into their constituents (modifier and
head) that are labelled with linguistic information such as foreign words and
named entities. For more details, please see
http://www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/GermaNet/compounds.shtml

3: The German part of the Interlingual Index (ILI), which was initially
created in the context of the EuroWordNet project, has been extended. It
represents a mapping between wordnets of different languages. For detailed
information see http://www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/GermaNet/ili.shtml
