Abstract
In this chapter we give an overview of different types of lexical knowledge bases that are used in natural language processing (NLP). We cover widely known expert-built Lexical Knowledge Bases (LKBs), and also collaborative LKBs, i.e., those created by a large community of layman collaborators. First we define our terminology, then we give a broad overview of various kinds of LKBs that play an important role in NLP. For particular resource-specific details, we refer the reader to the respective reference publications.
