Abstract

Latin Linked Open Data Preverbs Settore GLOT-01/A - Glottologia e linguistica Settore L-LIN/01 - GLOTTOLOGIA E LINGUISTICA
PREMOVE is a diachronic dataset of Ancient Greek and Latin PREverbed MOtion VErbs, providing manually curated morphological, syntactic, and semantic annotations for almost three thousand verbal occurrences. This paper presents the integration of PREMOVE into the LiLa Knowledge Base of Latin, linking its semantic annotations to WordNet (WN) and VerbNet (VN). We describe the RDF conversion using OntoLex-Lemon and FrAC, enabling explicit modelling of token-level attestations and dataset-level provenance. The resulting linked resource achieves full FAIR compliance and supports complex SPARQL queries, allowing users to explore motion semantics across lexical, textual, and semantic layers. Example SPARQL queries demonstrate how researchers can retrieve attested forms for specific WN synsets or VN classes, supporting reproducible linguistic research and cross-resource exploration of motion semantics in ancient languages.
