The Thai WordNet was established in October, 2007. Based on the Princeton WordNet (PWN), we develop a method in generating the Thai WordNet by using an existing bi-lingual dictionary. We automatically align the PWN synsets to the bi-lingual dictionary via English equivalents and parts-of-speech (POS).

After the automatic alignment, manual translation and revision are carried out by experts and collaborative volunteers using a web-application tool, WNMS.
