This paper faces the problem of unifying the representation of actions and events in different semantic resources. The proposed solution exploits the IMAGACT visual component (video scenes that represent physical actions) as the linkage point among resources. By using visual objects, we connected resources responding to different scopes and theoretical frameworks, in which a concept-to-concept mapping appeared difficult to obtain. We provide a brief description of two experiments that exploit IMAGACT videos as a linkage point: an automatic linking with BabelNet, a multilingual semantic network, and a manual linking with Praxicon, a conceptual knowledge base of action. The aim of this work is to integrate data from resources with different level of granularity in order to describe the action semantics from a linguistic, visual and motor point of view.
