Multilingual lexicographic annotation for domain-specific electronic dictionaries

The Copa 2014 FrameNet Brasil project

 | Federal University of Juiz de Fora
 | FrameNet Brasil
This paper reports on the development of a domain-specific multilingual electronic dictionary covering the domains of soccer, tourism and the World Cup: the Copa 2014 FrameNet Brasil project. Specifically, we discuss three points: (i) the definition of the tourism frames and their deployment as interlingual representations; (ii) the implementation of the trilingual annotation software used for populating the Copa 2014 database; and (iii) the creation of the Translation relation, a computational solution for the deployment of frames as interlingual representations.
Keywords: multilingual domain-specific dictionary, FrameNet, Frame Semantics, tourism, World Cup
