Some wordnets were subsequently created for other languages. A 2012 survey lists the wordnets and their availability.<ref>Francis Bond and Kyonghee Paik 2012a.

Matsue. 64–71</ref> In an effort to propagate the usage of WordNets, the Global WordNet community had been slowly re-licensing their WordNets to an open domain where researchers and developers can easily access and use WordNets as language resources to provide [[ontology|ontological]] and [[lexicon|lexical]] knowledge in [[natural language processing|natural-language processing]] (NLP) tasks.

The Open Multilingual WordNet<ref>{{cite web|url=http://compling.hss.ntu.edu.sg/omw/|title=Open Multilingual Wordnet|website=compling.hss.ntu.edu.sg|access-date=10 April 2018}}</ref> provides access to [[Open-source license|open licensed]] wordnets in a variety of languages, all linked to the Princeton Wordnet of English (PWN). The goal is to make it easy to use wordnets in multiple languages.
