The language specific encodings in The Danish SIMPLE Lexicon are performed on the basis of a unified, ontology-based semantic model - the so-called SIMPLE model - representing an extended Qualia Structure based partly on Pustejovsky (1995), partly on experiences in preceding lexical projects such as Genelex, WordNet and EuroWordNet.
The SIMPLE project started in April 1998 and was completed in April 2000.
The Danish SIMPLE Lexicon was ajusted and converted to LMF in the METANORD-project i 2014. App 10,000 senses are mapped to the syntax layer in STO (6943 nouns, 2000 verbs and 1000 adjectives).
