Revisiting a Brazilian WordNet

Abstract

Brazilian Portuguese needs a WordNet that is open access, downloadable and changeable, so that it can be improved by researchers, such as the community interested in automated deduction. This would be very valuable to linguists and computer scientist interested in representing knowledge obtained from texts. We discuss briefly why we want a Brazilian Portuguese WordNet and how we are going about getting one. These are only first steps, though, as our project is just starting.
