A new extensive update to VerbNet and the UVI will be coming soon!

VerbNet v3.2
VerbNet 3.2 is now available. In addition to the changes in syntactic frame names that characterized VerbNet 3.1, 3.2 also includes many updates to semantic role labels. These changes bring VerbNet semantic role labels more in line with the LIRICS labels. Documentation below.

Version 2.3 reflected the integration of the first set of classes into VerbNet, Korhonen and Briscoe (2004), as did VerbNet 2.0 and VerbNet 2.1, as well as the second set of classes, Korhonen and Ryant (2005). 2.3 also included minor revisions resulting from the mapping to FrameNet. These are all incorporated in 3.1.
