THE PURPOSE OF WNCOM

This package provides a access to the WordNet database though a self contained component that offers both a general-purpose interface that can be used by scripting languages such as Visual Basic or JScript and an advanced interface to be used in C or C++. WordNet TreeWalk is such an application. Scripting can also be used in a server-side ASP application. Examples are provided.

WordNet® is an on-line lexical reference system whose design is inspired by current psycholinguistic theories of human lexical memory. English nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are organized into synonym sets, each representing one underlying lexical concept. Different relations link the synonym sets. WordNet was developed by the Cognitive Science Laboratory at Princeton University under the direction of Professor George A. Miller (Principal Investigator).
