Wiktionary is a multilingual, web-based, freely available dictionary, thesaurus and phrase book, designed as the lexical companion to Wikipedia. Lately, it has been recognized as a promising lexical semantic resource for natural language processing applications.

JWKTL is a Java-based API that enables efficient programmatic access to the information contained in the English and German language editions of Wiktionary:

 
• glosses
 
• part of speech
 
• etymology
 
• examples
 
• quotations
 
• references
 
• word language
 
• translations
 
• internal and external links
 
• categories
 
• related words
 
• antonyms, holonyms, hypernyms, hyponyms, meronyms, synonyms, troponyms, "see also" terms, characteristic word combinations, coordinate terms, derived terms, descendants, etymologically related terms
 

It is described in our LREC 2008 paper.
