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 Prolog-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 compressed tar format, but the files are also in ASCII.
NOTES
The lexicographer files and grind(1WN) program are not generally distributed.
All of the packages described above may not be available at the time of release of the 3.0 database
package.
