Zusammenfassung

We present ongoing work dealing with a Linked Open Data (LOD) compliant representation of Sign Language (SL) data, with the goal of supporting the cross-lingual linking of SL data, also to Spoken Language data. As the European EASIER research project has already investigated the use of Open Multilingual Wordnet (OMW) datasets for cross-linking German and Greek SL data, we propose a unified RDF-based representation of OMW and SL data. In this context, we experimented with the transformation into RDF of a rich dataset, which links Danish Sign Language data and the wordnet for Danish, DanNet. We extend this work to other Nordic languages, aiming at supporting cross-lingual comparisons of Nordic Sign Languages. This unified formal representation offers a semantic repository of information on SL data that could be accessed for supporting the creation of datasets for training or evaluating NLP applications that involve SLs.
