Description

In this paper, we present LexMeta, a metadata model for the description of human­readable and computational lexical resources in catalogues. Our initial motivation is the extension of the LexBib knowledge graph with the addition of metadata for dictionaries, making it a catalogue of and about lexico­graphical works. The scope of the proposed model, however, is broader, aiming at the exchange of meta­data with catalogues of Language Resources and Technologies and addressing a wider community of re­searchers besides lexicographers. For the definition of the LexMeta core classes and properties, we deploy widely used RDF vocabularies, mainly Meta-Share, a metadata model for Language Resources and Tech­nologies, and FRBR, a model for bibliographic records.
