       prologdb - description of Prolog database files

       senseidx - format of sense index file

DESCRIPTION

       This  section  of  the  WordNet  Reference  Manual contains manual pages that describe the formats of the
       various files included in different WordNet 3.0 packages.

NOMENCLATURE

       All files are in ASCII.  Fields are generally separated by one space, unless otherwise  noted,  and  each
       line  is terminated with a newline character.  In the file format descriptions, terms in italics refer to
       field names.  Characters or strings in boldface represent an actual character or string as it appears  in
       the  file.   Items enclosed in italicized square brackets ([  ]) may not be present.  Since several files
       contain fields that have the identical meaning, field  names  are  consistently  defined.   For  example,
       several  WordNet  files  contain  one  or  more  synset_offset  fields.   In each case, the definition of
       synset_offset is identical.
