Pre 2017 extracts are now available on Zenodo only

The DBnary project extracts every Wiktionary dumps since mid 2012 (for the earliest extracted language) until now. In July 2017, the extracts were transitioned from original lemon model to the now de facto standard ontolex model. As we are lacking resources to keep all historical dumps on this server, we decided to create archives of the older “lemon modeled” extracts and publish them on Zenodo, should anybody be willing to study the evolution of DBnary/Wiktionaries in this period.

Turkish extractor has been rewritten

Since almost one year, the Turkish data was empty as the extractor was not fixed after the Turkish wiktionary community changed drastically the way the pages were encoded. This has now been fixed with a new version of the Turkish extractor that relies on the new mediawiki parser that is part of the DBnary extractor infrastructure.

Swedish Morphology Extraction is available

The DBnary extractor now extracts the Swedish morphology. This data is available from the 20200701 extraction version, that used the 2.3.1 version of the extractor. The morphological data may be downloaded and will be available as soon as we upload new datasets to the live virtuoso server. The extraction remain a little bit drafty, hence if you spot any mistakes or missing information (that is available in the morphology tables of the entry page), then fill free to create an issue on the DBnary extractor’s bitbucket forge.

We are handling Thesaurus entries in English dataset

The English extractor has recently been extended to handle Thesaurus entries. This leads to more lexico-semantic relations. However, such relations originates and leads to Pages rather than to LexicalEntries. This shortcoming will be handled during data enhancement (still to come). Happy Linking !

Disambiguated Translation are now systematically computed

After a long wait, I finally managed to integrate the “Source Translation Disambiguation” experiment into DBnary extractor. Hence the sources of some translation are disambiguated each time a new dump is extracted. What is this ? In wiktionary, translations are sometimes included in a box which corresponds to a word sense. It allows for distinguishing between different translations. For instance, the French noun “bleu” may be translated in “blue” when it means a color, in “bruise” when it is used in the “small injury” acception and “rookie” when it designs a non experimented soldier.

DBnary is now using w3c Ontolex format

The DBnary data is now available using the ontolex vocabulary. New bugfixes and additional extracted data will now be available only using ontolex vocabulary. Of course, as usual, preceding extracted data is still available in lemon format. For a limited amount of time, the data will be extracted in both lemon and ontolex format. The online access will only be available in ontoloex format. The DBnary specific vocabulary will be shortly adapted for this new base vocabulary. Say tuned for more information.

Dbnary is offering a new dataset for African languages

We just took a first step towards expanding the DBnary dataset with dictionaries provided by the DILAF project. We have extracted a LEMON version of the DILAF Bambara dictionary and we give it available on the DBnary server. As usual, it is in lemon model, and URIs are dereferencable. Check for instance the /dilaf/bam/daɲɛgafe1__n entry.
