This is the README file for WordNet 3.0

|
1. About WordNet
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WordNet was developed at Princeton University's Cognitive Science
|
||
|
|
Laboratory under the direction of George Miller, James S. McDonnell
|
||
|
|
Distinguished University Professor of Psychology, Emeritus. Over the
|
||
|
|
years many linguists, lexicographers, students, and software engineers
|
||
|
|
have contributed to the project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WordNet is an online lexical reference system. Word forms in WordNet
|
||
|
|
are represented in their familiar orthography; word meanings are
|
||
|
|
represented by synonym sets (synsets) - lists of synonymous word forms
|
||
|
|
that are interchangeable in some context. Two kinds of relations are
|
||
|
|
recognized: lexical and semantic. Lexical relations hold between word
|
||
|
|
forms; semantic relations hold between word meanings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To learn more about WordNet, the book "WordNet: An Electronic Lexical
|
||
|
|
Database," containing an updated version of "Five Papers on WordNet"
|
||
|
|
and additional papers by WordNet users, is available from MIT Press:

2. The WordNet Web Site
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We maintain a Web site at:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://wordnet.princeton.edu
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Information about WordNet, access to our online interface, and the
|
||
|
|
various WordNet packages that you can download are available from our
|
||
|
|
web site. All of the software documentation is available online, as
|
||
|
|
well as a FAQ. On this site we also have information about other
|
||
|
|
applications that use WordNet. If you have an application that you
|
||
|
|
would like included, please send e-mail to the above address.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Contacting Us
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ongoing deveopment work and WordNet related projects are done by a
|
||
|
|
small group of researchers, lexicographers, and systems programmers.
|
||
|
|
Since our resources are VERY limited, we request that you please
|
||
|
|
confine correspondence to WordNet topics only. Please check the
|
||
|
|
documentation, FAQ, and other resources for the answer to your
|
||
|
|
question or problem before contacting us.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have trouble installing or downloading WordNet, have a bug to
|
||
|
|
report, or any other problem, please refer to the online FAQ file
|
||
|
|
first. If you can heal thyself, please do so. The FAQ will be
|
||
|
|
updated over time. And if you do find a previously unreported
|
||
|
|
problem, please use our Bug Report Form:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://wordnet.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/bugsubmit.pl
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When reporting a problem, please be as specific as possible, stating
|
||
|
|
the computer platform you are using, which interface you are using,
|
||
|
|
and the exact error. The more details you can provide, the more
|
||
|
|
likely it is that you will get an answer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is a WordNet user discussion group mailing list that we invite
|
||
|
|
our users to join. Users use this list to ask questions of one
|
||
|
|
another, announce extensions to WordNet that they've developed, and
|
||
|
|
other topics of general usefulness to the user community.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Information on joining the user discussion list, reporting bugs and other
|
||
|
|
contact information is in found on our website at:

4. Current Release
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WordNet Version 3.0 is the latest version available for download. Two
|
||
|
|
basic database packages are available - one for Windows and one for
|
||
|
|
Unix platforms (including Mac OS X). See the file ChangeLog (Unix) or
|
||
|
|
CHANGES.txt (Windows) for a list of changes from previous versions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WordNet packages can either be downloaded from our web site via:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://wordnet.princeton.edu/obtain
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Windows package is a self-extracting archive that installs itself
|
||
|
|
when you double-click on it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Beginning with Version 2.1, we changed the Unix package to a GNU Autotools
|
||
|
|
package. The WordNet browser makes use of the open source Tcl and Tk
|
||
|
|
packages. Many systems come with either or both pre-installed. If
|
||
|
|
your system doesn't (some systems have Tcl installed, but not Tk)
|
||
|
|
Tcl/Tk can be downloaded from:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://www.tcl.tk/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tcl and Tk must be installed BEFORE you compile WordNet. You must also
|
||
|
|
have a C compiler before installing Tcl/Tk or WordNet. WordNet has
|
||
|
|
been built and tested with the GNU gcc compiler. This is
|
||
|
|
pre-installed on most Unix systems, and can be downloaded from:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://gcc.gnu.org/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the file INSTALL for detailed WordNet installation instructions.
