GernEdiT (short for: GermaNet Editing Tool) offers a graphical interface for the lexicographers and developers of GermaNet to access and modify the underlying GermaNet resource. GermaNet is a lexical-semantic wordnet that is modeled after the Princeton WordNet for English. The traditional lexicographic development of GermaNet was error prone and time-consuming, mainly due to a complex underlying data format and no opportunity of automatic consistency checks. | GernEdiT A Graphical Tool for GermaNet Development Verena Henrich University of Tubingen Tubingen Germany.

Abstract GernEdiT short for GermaNet Editing Tool offers a graphical interface for the lexicographers and developers of GermaNet to access and modify the underlying GermaNet resource. GermaNet is a lexical-semantic word-net that is modeled after the Princeton Word-Net for English. The traditional lexicographic development of GermaNet was error prone and time-consuming mainly due to a complex underlying data format and no opportunity of automatic consistency checks. GernEdiT replaces the earlier development by a more userfriendly tool which facilitates automatic checking of internal consistency and correctness of the linguistic resource. This paper presents all these core functionalities of GernEdiT along with details about its usage and usability. 1 Introduction The main purpose of the GermaNet Editing Tool GernEdiT tool is to support lexicographers in accessing modifying and extending the GermaNet data Kunze and Lemnitzer 2002 Henrich and Hinrichs 2010 in an easy and adaptive way and to aid in the navigation through the GermaNet word class hierarchies so as to find the appropriate place in the hierarchy for new synsets short for synonymy set and lexical units. GernEdiT replaces the traditional GermaNet development based on lexicographer files Fellbaum 1998 by a more user-friendly visual tool that supports versioning and collaborative annotation by several lexicographers working in parallel. Furthermore GernEdiT facilitates internal consistency of the GermaNet data such as appropriate linking of lexical units with synsets connectedness of the synset graph and automatic closure among relations and their inverse counterparts. All these functionalities along with the main aspects of GernEdiT s usage and usability are presented in this paper.
