Abstract
The IndoWordNet is a multilingual WordNet for eighteen Indian languages. Punjabi language WordNet is a part of the IndoWordNet. The efforts made for the development of Punjabi language WordNet are undoubtedly appreciable, but various anomalies exist in this language resource. These anomalies were detected in Punjabi language WordNet, while using it for text processing. This paper presents the results of the evaluation, discusses the possible causes behind identified issues, and recommends necessary modifications. In this evaluation, the anomalies were identified by analyzing the IndoWordNet text files manually with the help of various word processors. To verify the results, these anomalies were also tested with online versions of the IndoWordNet available at www.cfilt.iitb.ac.in/indowordnet/ and www.tdil-dc.in/indowordnet/. Although, these web applications behave differently for similar inputs, but the existence of anomalies was verified by these online versions. The IndoWordNet is a structured language resource, but these anomalies violate the rules of its structure. It was tested for the purpose of improving its data accuracy.
