Changes for version 0.7

  • Data file formats have changed in 0.7. This requires new conversion using the 'scripts/convertdb.pl' script. What hasn't changed is the way any of the indexes are written, so this should not affect most code. What has changed is the way each word entry is written to the data files. Word entries are now of the form "lemma%sense_num", where sense_num is the unique number for the sense of lemma in a POS (rather than unique within a lexicographer file). This makes the return values for words conform to what you might expect to see when searching for a given sense.
  • Added lookup_synset_all()
  • Added scripts/big_struct.pl
  • Added scripts/tree.pl
  • Fixed the lemma% concatenation, which misrepresented the sense numbers
  • Changed 'scripts/convertdb.pl' to try harder to update paths in Wordnet.pm
  • TODO:
    • methods for XML delivery of data
    • better reverse_morph() implementation
    • enhanced creation of new fields
