Milestone 1: Building the Lemma Bank
The first phase of the LiITA: Linking Italian project focusses on building a Lemma Bank from existing Italian lemma sets that will be meticulously selected and compared. The Lemma Bank is available as Linked Open Data, adhering to the widely accepted vocabulary outlined in the OntoLex-Lemon model for describing lexical resources:

- View: http://liita.it/data/id/lemma/LemmaBank
- Download: https://github.com/LiITA-LOD/LiITA_LemmaBank
Milestone 2: Linking the Resources
Access the data through our SPARQL endpoint.
The second phase revolves around integrating a set of freely available Italian linguistic resources with the Knowledge Base.
Lexical Resources

Sentix
Sentix is an affective lexicon for the Italian language, incorporating 63,660 entries, with associated polarity scores (ranging from -1 to +1) and categorical polarity classifications (Positive, Neutral, Negative).
ELIta
Emotion Lexicon for Italian, where words are annotated for basic emotions with scores from 0 to 1 and the emotion dimensions from 1 to 9.
Milestone 3: Developing Tools
The project’s third phase brings forth the development of a tool that empowers resource providers to automatically connect their data to the Lemma Bank. Coupled with the project’s commitment to utilising established vocabularies for knowledge representation as LOD, this tool promotes an open-ended approach. As a result, the knowledge base becomes readily extensible and adaptable for future enrichment and expansion.
To ensure long-term sustainability and facilitate widespread dissemination, the project culminates with the integration of the Lemma Bank and its associated LOD resources into prominent infrastructures like CLARIN-IT and the European Language Grid. This final step guarantees the accessibility of the project’s valuable outcomes for the benefit of the wider research community.
