Wordnets: State of the Art and Perspectives. Case Study: the Romanian Wordnet

During a quarter of a century of existence and in spite of much criticism, wordnets have thoroughly proved their appropriateness as repositories of linguistic knowledge and their usefulness in various applications. In this paper we present the methodology of creating the Romanian wordnet (RoWN), with special emphasis on the strategies adopted during ten years of ceaseless implementation and which highlight the efforts invested, the way we dealt with the alignment of the RoWN (previously aligned to PWN 2.0) to the PWN 3.0, as well as the future work we envisage for enriching and extending this resource.
