NAME

       wnintro - introduction to descriptions of WordNet file formats

SYNOPSIS

       cntlist - format of cntlist and cntlist.rev files

       lexnames - list of lexicographer file names and numbers

       prologdb - description of Prolog database files

       senseidx - format of sense index file

       sensemap - mapping from senses in WordNet 2.1 to corresponding 3.0 senses

       wndb - format of WordNet database files

       wninput - format of WordNet lexicographer files

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.

   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.
