Linking Latin: Interoperable Lexical Resources in the LiLa Project

This paper introduces the overall architecture of the LiLa Knowledge Base, which makes distributed language resources for Latin interoperable on the Web through the application of principles, ontologies and models developed by the Linguistic Linked Open Data community. In particular, the paper focuses on some linguistic aspects of the Latin lexicon that the lexical resources already linked to LiLa allow to investigate, showing how the network of connections that the LiLa Knowledge Base builds between lexical and textual resources for Latin is bigger than the parts considered singularly.
