Download machine-readable data

We offer machine-readable RDF files with information about languages and other entities provided on Lexvo.org. Developers can choose between the traditional RDF/XML format vs. the simpler N-Triples format. The dump files can be downloaded and distributed in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC-BY-SA) 3.0 Unported license:

• Lexvo dump (2013-02-09)
  a) in RDF/XML format
  b) in N-Triples format
  
  
• Lexvo dump (direct link to latest RDF/XML version 2013-02-09)

We are grateful to a number of people for providing the original data sources that were used to create Lexvo.org.

Code Mapping Tables

Additionally, we provide tab-separated value (TSV) files providing mappings between ISO 639 standards and corresponding Lexvo.org language identifiers.

• ISO 639-1 mappings
• ISO 639-2 mappings
• ISO 639-3 mappings
• ISO 639-5 mappings
• MARC 21 / USMARC mappings

Online SPARQL Web Service Access

SPARQL access to the Lexvo.org data is currently only available via OpenLink Software's LOD server http://lod.openlinksw.com/sparql, which however sometimes may be slow to respond or even unreachable due to high demand.

If you need a faster server, it is quite easy to set up your own SPARQL server in just a few minutes using a lightweight triple store such as RedStore, Jena Fuseki, or BlazeGraph that can load the RDF dump linked above.

Additional Datasets

We have also created many other semantic datasets. These include:

• Universal WordNet: lexical semantic knowledge in over 200 languages
• FrameBase: representing knowledge via semantic frames
• Etymological Wordnet: word origins
• WebChild: commonsense knowledge
