The paper introduces the LiIta Knowledge Base of interoperable linguistic resources for Italian. After describing the principles of the Linked Data paradigm, on which LiIta is grounded, the paper presents the lemma-centred architecture of the Knowledge Base and details its core component, consisting of a large collection of Italian lemmas (called the Lemma Bank) used to interlink distributed lexical and textual resources.

This paper describes the process of interlinking a lexical resource consisting of a list of more than 20,000 Neo-Latin words with other resources for Latin. The resources are made interoperable thanks to their linking to the anonymous Knowledge Base, which applies Linguistic Linked Open Data practices and data categories to describe and publish on the Web both textual and lexical resources for the Latin language.
