The purpose of this contribution is to present LexO8 , the first version of a collaborative web editor for easily building and managing of lexical and terminological resources in the context of the Semantic Web. The adoption of Semantic Web technologies and the Linked Data paradigm has been driven by the need to ensure the construction of resources that are interoperable and can be shared and reused by the scientific community. LexO's primary objective is to enable terminologists and lexicographers to create a resource ex novo this is by means of the adoption of a lexical model that allows the association of detailed and structured lexical information (Bellandi et al., 2018); (Khan et al., 2016) to ontological concepts. In this respect, the lemon lexical model (McCrae et al., 2012), later renamed OntoLex-lemon (McCrae et al., 2017), is currently regarded as the de facto standard for enriching Semantic Web ontologies with lexical information. LexO can provide a support for creating, managing, publishing lexical and terminological resources as Linked Open Data, that is typically a complex task, especially for those who have not yet mastered Semantic Web-based standards and technologies, such as RDF and OWL.

Abstract
The purpose of this contribution is to present LexO8 , the first version of a collaborative web editor for easily building and managing of lexical and terminological resources in the context of the Semantic Web. The adoption of Semantic Web technologies and the Linked Data paradigm has been driven by the need to ensure the construction of resources that are interoperable and can be shared and reused by the scientific community. LexO's primary objective is to enable terminologists and lexicographers to create a resource ex novo this is by means of the adoption of a lexical model that allows the association of detailed and structured lexical information (Bellandi et al., 2018); (Khan et al., 2016) to ontological concepts. In this respect, the lemon lexical model (McCrae et al., 2012), later renamed OntoLex-lemon (McCrae et al., 2017), is currently regarded as the de facto standard for enriching Semantic Web ontologies with lexical information. LexO can provide a support for creating, managing, publishing lexical and terminological resources as Linked Open Data, that is typically a complex task, especially for those who have not yet mastered Semantic Web-based standards and technologies, such as RDF and OWL. However, the long-term ambition of LexO would be to make a deeper contribution to e-lexicography.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
