While the latter fact led to a resource which may not be 100% reliable, it also enabled the development of a larger resource and with a wider coverage, as compared to other Portuguese wordnets. This makes Onto.PT a viable alternative for several natural language processing tasks. Having this in mind, in order to ease the integration of Onto.PT with other applications, this resource is available as a standard model for knowledge representation, namely the Resource Description Framework (RDF, Miller and Manola (2004) ).",

"text": "Though it is commonly referred that there is not a wordnet for Portuguese, this is not com- (Maziero et al., 2008) , but the relations, inherited from PWN given manual synset correspondences, are not. MWN.PT is not free but it is available upon a paid license. However, this resource only covers nouns, while all the others cover verbs, adjectives and adverbs as well. All but WN.PT and Onto.PT follow a translation approach, one of the most popular alternatives to the creation of non-English wordnets, where PWN is translated to a target language (de Melo and Weikum, 2008) . This approach is followed at different levels by WN.Br, MWN.PT and OWN.PT. In WN.Br, the synsets were created specifically for Portuguese and manual correspondences to PWN were defined afterwards. On the other hand, the synsets of MWN.PT and OWN.PT are, as far as possible, the direct translation of a set of key PWN synsets. But a problem arises for this kind of approaches. Different languages represent different socio-cultural realities, they do not cover exactly the same part of the lexicon and, even where they seem to be common, several concepts are lexicalised differently (Hirst, 2004) . This explains the existence of \"lexical gaps\" in some MWN.PT synsets. We thus believe that, whether created manually, semi-automatically or automatically, a wordnet should be developed from scratch for its target language. Only after that, it should be devised to align part of the synsets to wordnets of other languages, but having in mind that some rich meanings might be lost in the translation process. Table 4 presents the same wordnets regarding their size, in terms of covered lexical items, included synsets, semantic relations and the presence of glosses written in Portuguese. Regarding the last property, the wordnets relying on translation do not contain glosses in Portuguese, even though the English glosses can potentially be inherited from PWN and translated. WN.PT has contained Portuguese glosses for a long time. And since the last version of Onto.PT, part of its synsets The numbers on the size of the Portuguese wordnets are put side-by-side to those of PWN, to show that they are substantially smaller, except for Onto.PT. Despite being the second youngest Portuguese wordnet (OWN.PT is the youngest), Onto.PT has a size comparable to PWN, and it covers a richer set of semantic relations. We should recall that Onto.PT integrates several public resources for Portuguese, including the synsets of WN.Br (TeP) and of OWN.PT, so it was expected to be larger than those two.",

One of them, contains a reduced set of 164 Core Base Concepts which can be seen as the most important in the wordnets of four languages 8 . They are divided into 98 abstract and 66 concrete concepts, and are represented as PWN 1.5 synsets. We used this set to speculate on the global coverage of Onto.PT v0.6. For this purpose, we made manual rough matches between the 164 base concepts and suitable Onto.PT synsets. We concluded that Onto.PT roughly covers most of the concepts in the list, more precisely 95 abstract and 66 concrete synsets (98%). The three uncovered concepts are the following: {change magnitude, change size}, {spacing, spatial arrangement} and {visual property}. As one can see, they denote abstract generic classes which are sometimes created artificially, in order to work as the hypernym of a set of more specific concepts. We should add that the global coverage increased since Onto.PT v0.3.5, where 93% base concepts were covered. The integration of OWN.PT had a positive impact on this improvement.",
