Interlinking through Lemmas. The Lexical Collection of the LiLa Knowledge Base of Linguistic Resources for Latin

This paper presents the structure of the LiLa Knowledge Base, i.e. a collection of multifarious\r\nlinguistic resources for Latin described with the same vocabulary of knowledge\r\ndescription and interlinked according to the principles of the so-called Linked Data\r\nparadigm. Following its highly lexically based nature, the core of the LiLa Knowledge\r\nBase consists of a large collection of Latin lemmas, serving as the backbone to achieve\r\ninteroperability between the resources, by linking all those entries in lexical resources\r\nand tokens in corpora that point to the same lemma. After detailing the architecture\r\nsupporting LiLa, the paper particularly focusses on how we approach the challenges\r\nraised by harmonizing different strategies of lemmatization that can be found in\r\nlinguistic resources for Latin. As an example of the process to connect a linguistic\r\nresource to LiLa, the inclusion in the Knowledge Base of a dependency treebank is\r\ndescribed and evaluated.
