47 Database Package
49 The database package is a complete installation for WordNet 3.0 users.
50 It includes the 3.0 database files, source code for the WordNet
51 browsers and library, and documentation. The other packages are not
52 included - they must be downloaded and installed separately.
53 Note that with this version of WordNet for Unix platforms, only source
55 code is provided. Users should carefully read the README and INSTALL
56 files for detailed information on compiling WordNet and dependencies.
57 Prolog Database Package
60 The WordNet 3.0 database files are available in this package in a Pro‐
61 log-readable format. Documentation describing the file format is
62 included. This package is only downloadable in compressed tar file
63 format, although once unpackaged it can be used from Windows systems
64 since the files are in ASCII. Many Windows utilities, such as WinZip,
65 can deal with a compressed tar file.
66 Sense Map Package
68 To help users automatically convert 2.1 noun and verb senses to their
69 corresponding 3.0 senses, we provide sense mapping information in this
70 package. This package contains files to map polysemous and monosemous
71 words, and documentation that describes the format of these files. As
72 with the Prolog database, this package is only downloadable in com‐
73 pressed tar format, but the files are also in ASCII.
74
76 The lexicographer files and grind(1) program are not generally distrib‐
77 uted.
78 All of the packages described above may not be available at the time of
80 release of the 3.0 database package.
