Most information is concerned with the 658 domain-specific verbs, including the curation of related entries, and the production of grammatical and semantic information. Each verb may have several grammatical or semantic frames associated with it, due to the different patterns of arguments that can occur with each verb. This explains why the number of grammatical frames, semantic event frames and grammatical-semantic links is higher than the total number of domain-specific verbs.
