Abstract
In this paper we present ongoing research carried out at the Institute for Computational Linguistics “A. Zampolli” (ILC) in Pisa. The institute has been active since many years in the field of Digital Humanities providing resources, tools and solutions to address issues of the to digital humanists. Starting from those previous initiatives, we show how to re-engineer them as Web Services in order to make connections between lexicons, semantic resources and a fine grained text management. Linked Open Data is chosen as the paradigm used to link the different resources as well as the modality of data presentation.

Abstract Data Types are values (data type) and operations (on them) without specifying how the data type is implemented (encapsulation) [23, 39]. Designing reusable Abstract Data Types is strategic since they generalize the domain requirements in term of behavior and separation between implementation and interface.

So far, only Italian WordNet (IWN) is available in RDF - http://www.languagelibrary.eu/owl/italWordNet15/download/italWordNet15.tar.gz-, but, given the fact that each WordNet (WN) in CoPhiWordNet has the same structure as PWN their conversion is straightforward.

Acknowledgments
The present research has been partially supported by the Italian National Project Memorata Poetis (PRIN-2010/2011-2010NK2ACB). The work is part of a wider research panorama that is focused on models, resources, instruments and infrastructures for the Digital Humanities, namely CLARIN- and DARIAH-ERIC. The authors would also like to thank Bridget Almas, Harry Diakoff (Alpheios Project) and Gregory Crane (Perseus Project and Open Philology Project) who provided insight and expertise that greatly inspired important aspects of the research.
