MerkOr is an innovative Icelandic corpus, based on the semantic relations between words and their classification into semantic fields. All the content of MerkOr was automatically created with methods that can be used to create additional vocabularies of this kind, both for Icelandic and other languages.
The goal is that MerkOr can be used in Icelandic Language Technology, in making software where semantic information of Icelandic is required. It is also possible that MerkOr can be useful in other ways, such as in linguistic research and Icelandic language education.
