Standoff Files

The following additional "standoff" files providing further semantic information to supplement the WordNet 3.0 release:

  • The Morphosemantic Database (Semantic relations between morphologically related nouns and verbs)
    WordNet3.0 contains derivational links connecting noun and verb senses, e.g., employment#n1-employ#v2. morphosemantic-links.xls repeats these links, but also give the semantic type of the relationship. The database uses 14 semantic relations, as listed in the README file below.

  • The Teleological Database
    The teleological database contains, for approximately 350 artifacts (nouns), an encoding of the typical activity (purpose) for which that artifact was intended. 11 semantic relations are used to encode that activity, as listed in the README file below.
