    <Paragraph position="0"> Creating a knowledge base has always been a bottleneck in the implementation of AI systems. This is also true for Natural I,anguage Understanding (NhU) systems, particularly \[or data-driven ones. While a perfect system for automatic acquisition of all sorts of knowledge is still far from being realized, partial solutions are possib\]e. This holds especial\] y for \]exica\] data. Nevertheless, the task is not trivial, in particular when deal :i ng with \] anguages rich in inflectional forms like German. Out system is to be used by persons with no specJ&lt;\]c linguistic knowledge, thus linguistic expertise \]\]as been put int:o the system to ascertain correct clas!;ifJcation o\[ words.</Paragraph>
