We are pleased to announce the release of the Java-based Wiktionary
Library (JWKTL) 1.0.0 - an application programming interface for Wiktionary.
Project homepage:
http://code.google.com/p/jwktl/
== Overview ==
JWKTL (Java-based Wiktionary Library) is an application programming
interface for the free multilingual online dictionary Wiktionary
(
http://www.wiktionary.org). JWKTL enables efficient and structured
access to the information encoded in the English, the German, and the
Russian Wiktionary language editions, including sense definitions, part
of speech tags, etymology, example sentences, translations, semantic
relations, and many other lexical information types. The Russian JWKTL
parser is based on Wikokit (
http://code.google.com/p/wikokit/).
Prior to being available as open source software, JWKTL has been a
research project at the Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing (UKP) Lab of the
Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany. The following people have
mainly contributed to this project: Yevgen Chebotar, Iryna Gurevych,
Christian M. Meyer, Christof Müller, Lizhen Qu, Torsten Zesch.
