UBY-LMF[1][2] is a format for standardizing lexical resources for Natural Language Processing (NLP).[3] UBY-LMF conforms to the ISO standard for lexicons: LMF, designed within the ISO-TC37, and constitutes a so-called serialization of this abstract standard.[4] In accordance with the LMF, all attributes and other linguistic terms introduced in UBY-LMF refer to standardized descriptions of their meaning in ISOCat.

UBY-LMF has been implemented in Java and is actively developed as an Open Source project on Google Code. Based on this Java implementation, the large scale electronic lexicon UBY[5] has automatically been created - it is the result of using UBY-LMF to standardize a range of diverse lexical resources frequently used for NLP applications.

In 2013, UBY contains 10 lexicons which are pairwise interlinked at the sense level:[6][7][8]

A subset of lexicons integrated in UBY have been converted to a Semantic Web format according to the lemon lexicon model.[9] This conversion is based on a mapping of UBY-LMF to the lemon lexicon model.
