Princeton English WordNet Format

The format is the same as that GlobalWordNet LMF Schema. In addition, the following criteria should be followed in creating the resource

Lexical Entry

There must be a lexical entry for each synset member in the same file as the synset. Its ID must be as follows

ewn-lemma-p

Where

  • lemma is the lemma of the word. Any spaces should be replaced by underscores (_). Other non-XML characters should be replaced with -xx- where xx is a two letter code (e.g., -lp- for ( and -rp- for ))
  • p is the part of speech. One of n (noun), v (verb), a (adjective), s (adjective satellite) or r (adverb)

Senses

Senses must have identifiers that correspond to lexical entry and are of the form

ewn-lemma-p-XXXXXXXX-YY
  • lemma and p are as for lexical entries
  • XXXXXXXX is the offset code from Princeton WordNet's 3.1 release (see below for novel synsets)
  • YY is the position of the word in the synset as a two letter decimal code. Values for this should start from 01 and must exist for all consecutive values up to the size of the synset

In addition, senses should have a dc:identifier that gives their sense identifier as in Princeton WordNet.

Synset Relations

Synset relations are followed by a comment giving all members of the synset.

Synsets

Synsets have an identifier as follows

ewn-XXXXXXXX-p
  • XXXXXXXX is the offset code from Princeton WordNet's 3.1 release. For novel synsets the code should start with a 2 and the number should be chosen increasingly
  • p is the part of speech (see lexical entries)

Synsets should also have an ili link. When defining novel concepts please give the value ili="in".

Synsets should have a partOfSpeech and a dc:subject which corresponds to the name of the file being defined

All members of a synset should be listed in a comment before the synset

Synset Relations

Synset relations are followed by a comment giving all members of the target synset.

Symmetric pairs (hypernym and hyponym) should be added, when defining the synset relation.

Examples

Examples typically start and end with ". If a source is needed for an example please include this after the final " with two dashes, e.g.,

<Example>&quot;the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph&quot;--Thomas Paine</Example>

Style constraints

  • Please use two spaces as indents
  • Use self-closing tags whenever possible
  • Use minimal whitespace
