wordnet — WordNet relationships (2011)
- Description
A network of English words and the lexical and semantic relationships between them, from WordNet 3.1 (released in 2011), the lexical database of English developed at Princeton University. WordNet groups nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs into sets of synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept, which are linked by semantic relations (e.g. hypernymy, meronymy or entailment); some relations (e.g. antonymy or derivation) instead link individual words of two synsets. Each node is a word (a lemma, which can be a multi-word expression such as "New York"; different capitalizations are different words), and an undirected edge connects two words if they are synonyms (members of the same synset), if their synsets are related by a semantic relation, or if they are directly related by a lexical relation. All relations of the database are included. Words that occur only in a synset of their own and without relations are not part of the network.
This network replaces an earlier version built from the RDF version of WordNet 3.1, which is no longer available; this version is built in the same way from the original WordNet 3.1 database files, and has about 2% more nodes and 5% more edges than the earlier one.
The network has the following properties:
- (Node)
name: the word. - (Node)
pos: the list of its parts of speech (noun,verb,adjective,adverb). - (Node)
senses: the number of synsets that contain it. - (Edge)
relations: the list of the relations between the two words (synonymfor words in the same synset; otherwise the WordNet pointer types, e.g.hypernym,hyponym,antonym,derivationally related form,similar to,member meronym,domain of synset (topic)). Since WordNet records most relations in both directions, both a relation and its inverse (e.g.hypernymandhyponym) usually appear, and the direction of a relation is not recorded.
