The project IGLU aims at UNL-izing the definitions of 27,255 entries extracted from an abridged version of the WordNet3.0. Results are expected to be incorporated into the UNL Knowledge Base (UNL KB), which codifies the most systematic part of the meaning conveyed by natural language words, and to constitute a UNL-ization memory, to be used in future mappings between English and UNL.

The IGLU contains 30,342 distinct sentences, or 141,577 open-class tokens, corresponding to 27,255 entries of the WordNet3.0. The corpus was divided according to the part of speech of the definiendum (noun, adjective, adverb, verb), to the number of open-class tokens of the definitions, and to the similarity of definitions. It has been addressed through the UNL Editor using the general guidelines proposed in UNLization Guidelines, in addition to the following principles:

The definition must not contain the definiendum.
The relation between the definiendum (the term being defined) and its definition is represented by the relation "equ" (= equal). This means that the definition must be different from the definiendum, under the risk of tautology.
The definition must have the same lexical category of the definiendum.
Definitions must preserve the category of the definiendum: nouns must be defined by nominal phrases; adjectives, by adjective phrases; adverbs, by adverbial phrases; and verbs, by verbal phrases. This means that:
  • The entry node of the definition must belong to the same category of the definiendum; or
  • The entry node must be part of a relation that has the same category of the definiendum.
Definiendum Definition
noun noun.@entry, or 00.@entry, or XX.@noun
adjective adjective.@entry, XX.@adjective, or ADJT(XX.@entry, YY)
adverb adverb.@entry, XX.@adverb, or ADJT(XX.@entry, YY)
verb verb.@entry, XX.@verb

where:
ADJT = adjunction relations (all except agt, obj, aoj)
