The goal of our research is to describe on which levels interoperability can take place between GILT and SW. Interoperability between open standards in these two fields is necessary and crucial for a Multilingual Semantic Web (MSW). MSW exists already, as the provision of multilingual ontology-based resources or recycling of thesauri in multilingual ontologies prove. However, MSW as such (and not the resources or technologies) is something relatively new, and it has limitations. Our research contribution is to recognise these limitations and find potential and viable solutions.
