The Collaborative Interlingual Index (CILI) maintains the data for a single interlingual index of concepts for wordnets. This respository contains all the data that is available in CILI as well as mappings to other resources.

CILI is maintained by the Open Multilingual Wordnet. Please see its CILI page for more information about the project, including how to propose new concepts.

The following files are in this repository:

• ili.ttl: The main interlingual index file, containing a definition and a source for each identifier. This file is in the Turtle RDF format.
• ili-map.ttl, ili-map-wn30.ttl: These two files contain the mapping from Princeton WordNet 3.0 to the ILI in Turtle. These files are identical
• ili-map-pwn30.tab: The mapping from Princeton WordNet 3.0 to the ILI as tab-separated values.
• ili-map-pwn31.tab, ili-map-wn31.ttl: The mappings from Princeton WordNet 3.1 to the ILI
• ili-map-odwn13.ttl: The mapping from Open Dutch WordNet 1.3 to the ILI.
• older-wn-mappings/: Automatically constructed mappings from previous versions of WordNet to the ILI

Complementary data:

• sense-mappings/: Mappings between WordNet synsets and sense IDs for selected WordNets. Provided to facilitate the linking between sense-annotated resources (such as the SemCor corpus or the Princeton WordNet Gloss Corpus) with ILI-based WordNets.

There are two scripts to create the HTML and the TSV versions of the data. They both require Python 3.6+. The requirements can be installed with

pip install -r requirements.txt

The TSV script can be run as follows:

python3 make-tsv.py > cili.tsv

For the HTML the following will update the site

git checkout gh-pages
rm -fr docs
python make-html.py docs
git commit -am "A useful commit message"
git push
