Meeting Description:	The workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing recent developments and applications of various kinds of lexical-semantic resources including wordnets, ontologies, framenets, electronic dictionaries, internet lexicons and other collaboratively built lexical semantic resources. It is intended as follow-up to a series of thematically related events: GSCL workshops in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008 and a DGfS workshop in 2006. Lexical-semantic contents serve as valuable sources of linguistic information for research and applications in natural language processing. Recent years have seen different kinds of efforts to enhance the usability of these resources. Successful attempts to integrate and merge lexical resources have led not only to the mapping of lexical databases of the wordnet and framenet type but also to the creation of online dictionary networks of different sorts. Enhancing usability also means to provide data for the human user by new sophisticated access interfaces as well as to make these data available for different kinds of NLP applications. In addition, with the increase of statistical methods in linguistics, these resources have also become more and more interesting for various research issues. The methods to achieve this rise in functionality and usability of lexical resources will be a major topic of the workshop.
