Re: Release of BabelNet 4.0

Could you remind how BabelNet does fit in LOD technology ?

It is clear that BabelNet reuses some data sources, and makes some
alignements.
But from the point of view of data consumers, how do we get the triples ?
SPARQL server ?
RDF API ?

Let's take a concrete example : the plant Dianthus caryophyllus :
http://live.babelnet.org/synset?word=bn:00016128n&details=1&lang=FR&orig=oeillet

Is there a corresponding URL for the data ?

Another question: is the source code available ( the HTML server, the
alignment tool ) ?

>    832 million senses (was 745 million Babel senses in v3.7, increasing

>    now adopted, paving the way to synsets for closed-class words. A brand-new
>    Python API is under development with the same interface as the Java API.
