Descripción
VOLEM (Verbs: Multilingual Lexical Organization) is a lexical multilingual data base of a subset of Spanish, Catalan and French verbs. In this multilingual resource, subcategorization frames together with their semantics are specified for approximately 100 verbs. It also provides information regarding semantic roles, selectional restrictions and examples of use. The resource was developed by researchers of 4 groups: GRIAL (Grup de Recerca Interuniversitari en Aplicacions Lingüístiques); Informatique Linguistique et Programation en Logique, (Université Paul Sabatier); IRIT (Institut de Recherche en Informatique; IXA, Universitad del País Vasco – Euskal Herriko Unibersitatea, Filosofia eta Hezkuntza Zientzien Fakultatea; TALP, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Llenguatges i Sistemes Informàtics.
Funcionalidad
The query interface (http://grial.uab.es/multi/) allows the user to carry out simple and advanced searches with filters in order to obtain verb classes. Filtering criteria include: semantic role, type of construction, subcategorization pattern and semantic class. Queries can be made for just one language or for more than one language simultaneously (multilingual query). The menu interface allows users to select or deselect the search criteria they want to appear on the list. The interface also allows users to view the translation of the different verb senses in four languages (Catalan, Spanish, Basque and French).
Tecnología
The information is stored in a Mysql database and the interface has been developed in php.

Innovación
In this resource, the set of linguistic labels has been standardized so that the results obtained can be compared objectively. It is worth noting the inclusion of two minority languages, Basque and Catalan, for which the number of available resources is quite limited. We would also like to point out the inclusion of information about selection preferences, a feature of particular interest in the field of NLP. Finally, one of the most relevant aspects of this project is the multilingual interface; users can work in several different languages to obtain information about verb behavior.
