Subject: GermaNet Release 20.0


We are pleased to announce a new release of GermaNet (release 20.0).
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 (Prof.
Dr. Erhard Hinrichs) at the University of Tübingen since 1997.
Significant Changes Compared to Release 19.0:
- Disambiguation of compound components (see
https://uni-tuebingen.de/en/142855 for details)
- New synsets and lexical units for all word classes have been added,
resulting in 6,500 additional lexical units.
- New relations between synsets have been added.
Associated Software includes:
- Python API
- Java API
- GermaNet Rover (search and semantic relatedness calculations web
app)
