and semantic annotation for Natural Language Processing and the
Digital Humanities.</strong></h3>

-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">Even if language resources
covering English tend to receive most attention in the LT
community, recent years have shown an increased interest in
developing lexical semantic resources and semantically annotated
corpora of also lesser-resourced languages, including the
languages in the Nordic and Baltic region. Nevertheless,
high-quality semantic resources with sufficient coverage still
prove to be a serious bottleneck not only in purely rule-based NLP
applications but also in supervised corpus-based approaches. Also
in the Digital Humanities there is an increased interest in and
need for semantic annotation which would enable more refined
search in, and better visualization and analyses of large-scale
corpus data.</p>

-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">This workshop focuses in
particular on the interplay between lexical-semantic resources as
resembled by wordnets, framenets, propbanks, and others and their
relation to practical corpus annotation. The workshop – a
follow-up on the successful Nodalida 2009 and 2013 workshops on
semantic resources – intends to bring together researchers
involved in building and integrating semantic resources (lexicons
and corpora) as well as researchers who apply these resources for
semantic processing. Also researchers who are more theoretically
interested in investigating the interplay between lexical
semantics, lexicography, corpus linguistics and Digital Humanities
are welcome. </p>
