Goonjan Jain, Achal Bansal

Abstract: Since the field of NLP has a long history, the literature in this field is growing fast through the recent years. Different knowledge bases or ontologies are available that help us capture different aspects of natural language. There is a huge variety of ontologies that are available either freely or are licensed. Each of these has some new information to offer. But to the very core, each ontology offer a certain kind of knowledge supporting its underlying principle like common sense knowledge, knowledge about purpose of an artifact etc. In this paper, we have tried to collate different ontologies that offer us such diversified knowledge with varied underlying principle which have proved to be helpful in understanding the natural language.
