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.
