Abstract: Following a long series of successful scientific projects and collaborations, the community responsible for developing lexicons for Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Readable Dictionaries (MRDs decided to jump start their International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standardization activities in 2003. A group of 60 researchers (cited herein as the "LMF team") spent 5 years gathering requirements and developing the ideas which resulted in the LMF standard. The LMF specification is a success. Numerous lexicon managers currently use LMF in different languages and contexts. This book is dedicated to reporting on a number of these applications. It is structured as follows: Chapter 1 presents the historical context of LMF. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the LMF model. Chapter 3 deals with the Data Category Registry, which provides a flexible means for applying constants like /grammatical gender/ in a variety of different settings. The remaining chapters present concrete applications and experiments on real data, which are important for developers who want to learn about the use of LMF. Despite this success, we do not claim that LMF is perfect. Indeed, several chapters describe a number of limitations and/or proposals for its improvement.
