Linguistic Watermark 3.0: An RDF Framework and a Software Library for Bridging Language and Ontologies in the Semantic Web

In this paper, we present a framework for representing heterogeneous linguistic resources and for integrating their content with Semantic Web ontologies. This work, which extends and improves previous research conducted by these same authors, articulates into two main results: first, a set of coordinated RDF vocabularies providing descriptors for representing linguistic resources and their software counterparts, as well a collection of metadata for describing the linguistic enrichment of ontologies, both on quantitative and qualitative grounds. The second result is a software library for accessing resources described according to the above vocabularies and for evaluating the quality of linguistically enriched ontologies.
