WNPKGS(7)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to WNPKGS(7) 💖 — this is the page that explains all the different WordNet system packages, like what's in them, what they're called, and where to get them. no cap, it's basically the unboxing guide.

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

WordNet 3.0 doesn't just show up as one thing, okay? It's distributed in several formats and in various packages. And the way you get literally all of them is:

• anonymous FTP from ftp.cogsci.princeton.edu
• or the WordNet Web site at http://wordnet.princeton.edu

that's it, that's the plug 🫶

🌸 Packages Available Via FTP and WWW 🌸

so the following WordNet packages can be downloaded using a web browser from ftp://ftp.cogsci.princeton.edu/wordnet/3.0, or from the Web site noted above. Users can also FTP directly from ftp.cogsci.princeton.edu, directory wordnet/3.0. pick your fighter, they all slay 💅

• Database — filename WordNet-3.0.tar.gz, platform Unix/OS X — WordNet 3.0 database, interfaces, sense index, interface and library source code, documentation. 💖
• Database — filename WordNet-3.0.exe, platform Windows — WordNet 3.0 database, interfaces, sense index, interface and library source code, documentation. 💖
• Prolog Database — filename WNprolog-3.0.tar.gz, platform All — WordNet 3.0 database files in Prolog-readable format, documentation. 🦋
• Sense Map — filename WNsnsmap-3.0.tar.gz, platform All — Mapping of 2.1 to 3.0 senses, documentation. 🦋

💜 Database Package 💜

okay so the database package is the complete installation for WordNet 3.0 users. like, the full main-character move 👑

it includes:

• the 3.0 database files
• source code for the WordNet browsers and library
• documentation

and bestie, hear me: the other packages are not included — they must be downloaded and installed separately. not bundled, not sneaking in, nope 🙈

📌 Note that with this version of WordNet for Unix platforms, only source code is provided. Users should carefully read the README and INSTALL files for detailed information on compiling WordNet and dependencies. yes fr fr, read them, don't just vibe and hope 😭

🧚 Prolog Database Package 🧚

the WordNet 3.0 database files are available in this package in a Prolog-readable format. Documentation describing the file format is included. 💫

this package is only downloadable in compressed tar file format, although once unpackaged it can be used from Windows systems since the files are in ASCII. and many Windows utilities, such as WinZip, can deal with a compressed tar file — so you're not stranded, bestie 🫶

🍓 Sense Map Package 🍓

to help users automatically convert 2.1 noun and verb senses to their corresponding 3.0 senses, we provide sense mapping information in this package. it's giving glow-up pipeline ✨

this package contains:

• files to map polysemous and monosemous words
• documentation that describes the format of these files

and as with the Prolog database, this package is only downloadable in compressed tar format, but the files are also in ASCII. lowkey convenient, highkey iconic 💅

---

⭐ NOTES ⭐

• the lexicographer files and grind(1) program are not generally distributed. nope, not in the box, don't come for them 💀
• all of the packages described above may not be available at the time of release of the 3.0 database package. so if one's missing, it's not you, it's the timing 😭
