✨ WNPKGS ✨ (7WN)

okay bestie, welcome to wnpkgs — the WordNet™ section-7 page that's literally just here to tell you which WordNet packages exist and what's inside each one 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

wnpkgs — a whole rundown of the various WordNet system packages. that's it. that's the job 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here's the tea: WordNet 3.0 doesn't ship as one single blob. it's distributed in several formats and in various packages ✨

And every single one of those packages? available via anonymous FTP from ftp.cogsci.princeton.edu AND from the WordNet Web site at http://wordnet.princeton.edu 🌈

🎀 Packages Available Via FTP and WWW 🎀

These are the WordNet packages you can download with a web browser from:

ftp://ftp.cogsci.princeton.edu/wordnet/3.0

…or from the Web site noted above 👆. And if you're feeling old-school (main character energy, honestly), you can also FTP directly from ftp.cogsci.princeton.edu, into the directory wordnet/3.0 🦋

Here's the full lineup, no gatekeeping:

• Database — filename WordNet-3.0.tar.gz — platform: Unix/OS X — description: the WordNet 3.0 database, interfaces, sense index, interface and library source code, and documentation. it's giving the whole package 💖
• Database — filename WordNet-3.0.exe — platform: Windows — description: the WordNet 3.0 database, interfaces, sense index, interface and library source code, and documentation. same energy, different platform 🪟✨
• Prolog Database — filename WNprolog-3.0.tar.gz — platform: All — description: WordNet 3.0 database files in Prolog-readable format, plus documentation 📚
• Sense Map — filename WNsnsmap-3.0.tar.gz — platform: All — description: mapping of 2.1 to 3.0 senses, plus documentation 🗺️

🧚 Database Package 🧚

The database package is a complete installation for WordNet 3.0 users. she's the full set, no crumbs:

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

The other packages are not included — nope, not even a little. you have to download and install those separately 😭

Heads up bestie: with this version of WordNet for Unix platforms, only source code is provided. So please, carefully read the README and INSTALL files for the detailed info on compiling WordNet and its dependencies. do not skip this, i'm so serious 🙈

🌟 Prolog Database Package 🌟

The WordNet 3.0 database files are available in this package in a Prolog-readable format, and yes, documentation describing the file format is included 📖

One lil caveat: this package is only downloadable in compressed tar file format. BUT — once you unpack it, you can totally use it from Windows systems, because the files are in ASCII ✨ and many Windows utilities, such as WinZip, can deal with a compressed tar file just fine 💅

🦋 Sense Map Package 🦋

Trying to automatically convert 2.1 noun and verb senses to their corresponding 3.0 senses? we got you 🫶 the sense mapping information lives in this package.

Inside you'll find:

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

And just like the Prolog database, this package is only downloadable in compressed tar format — but the files are also in ASCII, so it's fine, it's fine 😌

---

⭐ NOTES ⭐

Two things, and then we're done, periodt:

• The lexicographer files and the grind(1WN) program are not generally distributed. 💀 (sorry!)
• All of the packages described above may not be available at the time of release of the 3.0 database package. so like… vibe check the FTP before you get your hopes up 🙈
