Chinese FrameNet Data in Semantic Web Language

The Chinese FrameNet Project is creating a lexical resource for Chinese, based on the principles of Frame Semantics and supported by corpus evidence. The resulting database mainly consists of descriptions of the semantic frames underlying the meanings of the words described and a representative collection of annotated corpus attestations, which jointly exemplify the linking between FEs and their syntactic realizations. This paper provides a representation for the frames in OWL Web Ontology Language and annotated sentences in XML, which can represent our ontologies and to make CFN information machine readable and understandable.
