Yes, I think that the ITS 2.0 can definitely be a very good point to
explore. At the moment I don't think we need modelling properties more
complex than those ones (such as mtConfidenceRule, etc.), so I think this
fits well our needs.

BabelNet translations can come from explicit resource information (e.g.,
Wikipedia interlanguage links) or as automatic translations supported by
millions of sense-tagged sentences coming from Wikipedia and Semcor.
In conclusion, AFAIK, BabelNet *does have* translation quality estimation,
so I think that indication about confidence could be also provided.
(Roberto, correct me if I am wrong)

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions :)
