Zusammenfassung
In this chapter, we describe the general benefits provided by the collaborative Wiktionary effort, but stress at the same the lack of standardisation in those resources, and so the difficulty to make a wide use of the resource. We point to already existing work in the field of senses, in which the use of LMF has shown to be very beneficial for accessing the semantic information contained in a subset of Wiktionaries and to merge those with other lexical semantic resources. We are advocating for an extension of this approach to all linguistic information included in Wiktionaries, and thus to map Wiktionary into LMF.
