  org.jscience.linguistics.kif.WordNet

public class WordNet
extends java.lang.Object

This program finds and displays SUMO terms that are related in meaning to the English expressions that are entered as input. Note that this program uses four WordNet data files, "NOUN.IDX" and "NOUN.EXC", "VERB.IDX" and "VERB.EXC", as well as two WordNet two SUMO mappings files called "MergeMappings.txt" and "WordNetMappings-verbs.txt" The main part of the program prompts the user for an English term and then returns associated SUMO concepts. There are two public methods: initOnce() and page().
