Abstract :
We report the results of a regional European project carried out on Spanish, Catalan, Occitan and French whose aim is to design a lexical knowledge base where syntactic and semantic descriptions have been normalized and are treated in a uniform way cross-linguistically. Besides the scientific aspects, one of the aims is to make less developed languages such as Occitan or Catalan accessible on the Web to a larger audience.
