The Pattern Dictionary of English Verbs (PDEV) describes English verbs according to usage patterns found in corpora (British National Corpus) using a technique called Corpus Pattern Analysis, invented by senior lexicographer Patrick Hanks.

PDEV provides insight into how verbs collocate with nouns and other words using an empirically well-founded apparatus of syntactic and semantic categories. PDEV is a valuable resource for NLP and text processing because it specifies in detail the contextual conditions that determine meaning of a word.
PDEV is work in progress, created manually by lexicographers, and converted to RDF using the lemon model by Ismail El Maarouf. The RDF resource is called PDEV-lemon and is available under a CC-by-SA licence.
