MalayWordNet - A novel lexical database for Malay Language

World Wide Web contains huge amount of data available in different languages across the world. Web browsers are tools used to display the data in graphical forms. With the evolution of Web 3.0, data has become an important part of human daily tasks, where it is used to process information, and formulate important decision rules for many organizations. Current tools used to conceptualize data are catered for some of the world well known languages such as English. However, these tools may not be able to support other languages as there are a wide range of languages with different syntax and representation. In this paper, we present a novel lexical semantic based database tool called MalayWordNet, specifically written for Malay language. Our tool is helpful for high end semantic based applications which use Malay language as part of their data presentation.
