Abstract
Linguistic description is important for the re-use of lexical resources and the interpretation of text. Linguistic knowledge plays an important role in defining and enriching ontological knowledge. The fact that there are multiple proposed (de facto) standard models from the terminological, linguistic and localization fields creates a need for interoperability between linguistic models. These models complement each other or overlap to a certain extent, which creates linguistic confusion. This paper presents the LingNet model and its implementation, which enables interoperability between and comparison of different models, and the harmonization of linguistic description across application domains, allowing a user to a customized combination of elements from different models according to criteria of coverage, complementarity and granularity of linguistic description.
