Coreon’s proposal for using the European Language Grid (ELG) as a platform for making multilingual interoperability assets discoverable and retrievable has been awarded. This will be achieved by complementing Multilingual Knowledge Systems with a SPARQL interface. The ELG Open Call 1 received 121 proposals, of which 110 were eligible and 10 were selected. Coreon’s proposal “MKS as Linguistic Linked Open Data” was amongst the three winning proposal from industry and received the highest funding.

The goals of the project are a) to enable Semantic Web systems to query Coreon’s richly elaborated multilingual terminologies stored in concept systems and knowledge graphs and b) to prove how to overcome the limits of RDF/knowledge graph editors, which usually are fine to model concept relations, but are weak in capturing linguistic information. When deployed in March 2021 on the ELG, the innovation will enable the Semantic Web community to query rich multilingual data with a familiar, industry standard syntax.
