6 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> A wordnet for German has been described which, compared with the Princeton WordNet, integrates principle-based modifications and extensions on the constructional and organizational level as well as on the level of lexical and conceptual relations.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Innovative features of GermaNet are a new treatment of regular polysemy and of particle verbs, as well as a principle-based encoding of cross-classification and artificial concepts. As compatibility with the Princeton WordNet and EuroWordNet is a major construction criteria of GermaNet, German can now, finally, be integrated into multilingual large-scale projects based on ontological and conceptual information. This constitutes an important step towards the design of truly multilingual tools applicable in key areas such as information retrieval and intelligent Internet search engines.</Paragraph>
