Working Groups
GWA is calling for volunteered working groups to work on issues that matter for the WordNet community. Through these working groups we hope to ‘bind’ the community and to continue our work in a collaborative spirit to benefit from each other’s work. We expect working group to report on their progress and results through regular updates on their web page. At the next Global Wordnet Conference, we would like to present the results to the audience in the business meeting.
This page lists the current working groups. Follow the links or mail the coordinators to find out more about each or if you want to be involved.
