We present the first release of TatWordNet (http://wordnet.tatar), a wordnet resource for Tatar. TatWordNet has been constructed by the combination of the expand and the merge approaches. The synsets of TatWordNet have been compiled by: (i) the automatic conversion of concepts of TatThes, a socio-political Tatar; (ii) semi-automatic translation of synsets of RuWordNet, a wordnet resource for Russian with the followed manual verification and correction; (iii) manual translation of base RuWordNet synsets; (iv) and manual translation of the all hypernyms of the previously translated RuWordNet synsets. The currents version of TatWordNet contains 18,583 synsets, 36,540 lexical entries and 49,525 senses. The resource has been published to the Linguistic Linked Open Data cloud and interlinked with the Global WordNet Grid.
