Database Package
The database package is a complete installation for WordNet 3.0 users.
It includes the 3.0 database files, source code for the WordNet
browsers and library, and documentation. The other packages are not
included - they must be downloaded and installed separately.
Note that with this version of WordNet for Unix platforms, only source
code is provided. Users should carefully read the README and INSTALL
files for detailed information on compiling WordNet and dependencies.
Prolog Database Package
The WordNet 3.0 database files are available in this package in a Pro‐
log-readable format. Documentation describing the file format is
included. This package is only downloadable in compressed tar file
format, although once unpackaged it can be used from Windows systems
since the files are in ASCII. Many Windows utilities, such as WinZip,
can deal with a compressed tar file.
Sense Map Package
To help users automatically convert 2.1 noun and verb senses to their
corresponding 3.0 senses, we provide sense mapping information in this
package. This package contains files to map polysemous and monosemous
words, and documentation that describes the format of these files. As
with the Prolog database, this package is only downloadable in com‐
pressed tar format, but the files are also in ASCII.
NOTES
The lexicographer files and grind(1WN) program are not generally dis‐
tributed.
All of the packages described above may not be available at the time of
release of the 3.0 database package.
