This paper presents the steps taken to integrate data from the UD_Latin-PROIEL treebank into the LiLa Knowledge Base of interoperable linguistic resources for Latin. It describes how the lexical, morphological, syntactic, and citation information from the source was modeled using the Linked Open Data principles as adopted by the LiLa Knowledge Base. The process of linking tokens to the LiLa collection of Latin lemmas is detailed, addressing challenges such as ambiguities, new lemmas, and errors encountered in the source. The outcome is a syntactically annotated textual resource that is interoperable with the (meta)data of other Latin linguistic resources linked within the LiLa Knowledge Base. This integration enables new ways of analyzing linguistic information and using the content as a starting point to explore connections with other interlinked resources. A use case demonstrates this interoperability.

This paper describes the steps undertaken to include data from Antonio Velez’s bilingual Latin-Portuguese dictionary (Index Totius Artis, 1744) into the LiLa Knowledge Base of interoperable linguistic resources for Latin. The paper focuses on how the lexical and lexicographic information of the source dictionary was modelled by using respectively the Lexicon Model for Ontologies (OntoLex-lemon) and its lexicog module. The linking process of the dictionary entries with those of the LiLa collection of Latin lemmas is detailed, discussing issues in dealing with ambiguities and typographical errors found in the source. The result is the first Latin-Portuguese lexical resource made interoperable with the (meta)data of the other linguistic resources for Latin interlinked in the LiLa Knowledge Base, providing new ways of assessing the dictionary information or using its content as starting point to explore the connections with other interlinked linguistic resources. A couple of use case scenarios illustrate those possibilities.
