Open Bantu isiXhosa Lexicon

The isiXhosa Lexicon is an RDF dataset that consists of lexical and morphological data and English translations that are linked to WordNet RDF. The data is based on tabular noun and verb data, that was provided by Prof. Sonja Bosch (University of South Africa) and manually compiled by a linguist. The dataset is based on the Bantu Language Model, i.e. an ontology that is mainly based on the OntoLex-Lemon and MMoOn vocabularies.
