The WordNet Advanced Python Interface

WordNet is a semantic network developed at Princeton University. For more information about WordNet and related projects, please refer to the project's home page. This Web Interface to WordNet-1.6 has been developed in the course of a team project by 2nd year students in Computer Science at ENST. The team was composed of:

• Cyrille Saget
• Arsène Perroud
• Alexandre Sorel
• Benoît Vérove

This interface has been developed in python, based on the API written by Oliver Steele.

The main novelty of this interface is that it allows to browse through examples of usage of the words/concepts under focus. These examples are drawn from the SemCor corpus, a semantically tagged extract of the Brown Corpus. To get access to this functionality, simply click on Example in the select box. This will display, whenever applicable, one example randomly selected from the Semantic Concordance Database.
