    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;The purpose of the inter-lingual index is to link the lexical resources from the different languages&lt;br&gt;
of the project and make them machine-readable. The earlier deliverable D6.3 was the first&lt;br&gt;
version of this index. It included German Sign Language (DGS) and Greek Sign Language&lt;br&gt;
(GSL). This deliverable is the second version of the index. It covers further core sign languages&lt;br&gt;
of the project: British Sign Language (BSL), Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT), French&lt;br&gt;
Sign Language (LSF) and Swiss-German Sign Language (DSGS). The next version will be&lt;br&gt;
deliverable 6.5 and will include languages beyond the project&amp;rsquo;s core languages.&lt;br&gt;
The deliverable is the index itself. This report provides background information on wordnet&lt;br&gt;
research, explains our method and choices, and presents the resulting dataset.&lt;br&gt;
Our interlingual index uses the wordnet concept of synonym sets (synsets), which define con-&lt;br&gt;
cepts by gathering signs and words that can represent the same meaning. This approach is&lt;br&gt;
more resistant to translation mistakes stemming from translation pairs being only valid for cer-&lt;br&gt;
tain word/sign meanings. It also provides a new way to define sign types that does not rely on&lt;br&gt;
approximate translations to a single spoken language word, the way glosses do. As a basis for&lt;br&gt;
our index, we build on the synset inventory of Open Multilingual Wordnet (OMW).&lt;br&gt;
We use a three-step method: The first step is automatically matching candidate synsets to signs&lt;br&gt;
using the keywords and glosses associated with the sign. The second step is automatically&lt;br&gt;
validating links that are most likely to be correct. The final step is manual validation of the&lt;br&gt;
remaining links, prioritising the most useful signs.&lt;br&gt;
This work has resulted in a dataset of 7929 signs in 6 sign languages linked to 11806 synsets.&lt;br&gt;
Additionally, a web interface has been launched to make the index accessible for the general&lt;br&gt;
public.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
