Lexicon Enhancement via the GOLD Ontology (LEGO) is a project funded by
the National Science Foundation (BCS-0753321) to establish tools and
standards to facilitate the sharing and interoperation of lexical data.
It is implemented jointly by The LINGUIST List at Eastern Michigan University
and The University at Buffalo. LEGO activities include conversion of legacy
lexical resources, evaluation of existing standards for encoding lexical data
and, where needed, proposing new standards, and providing interfaces through
which individuals can search the LEGO datanet of lexical resources and upload
their own lexical data.

Disclaimer: As an infrastructure project, we are primarily
interested in allowing existing lexical data to be included in our datanet and promoting
standards to allow others to construct comparable datanets, if they so wish. In order
to develop this infrastructure, we have converted a number of legacy resources which
have allowed us to test our approach, but we have not engaged in collecting new lexical
data, nor have we tried augment the information found in these materials beyond what has
been needed to achieve interoperation.
