English nouns,\nverbs, adjectives and adverbs are organized into synonym sets, each\nrepresenting one underlying lexical concept. Different relations link the\nsynonym sets.\n\nThis library uses SqlUNET[http://sqlunet.sourceforge.net/], which is a\nconversion of the WordNet (along with a number of other linguistic databases)\nlexicon flatfiles into a relational database format. You can either install the\n[wordnet-defaultdb](https://rubygems.org/gems/wordnet-defaultdb) gem, which\npackages up the SQLite3 version of SqlUNet, or install your own and point the\nlexicon at it by passing [Sequel connection\nparameters](http://sequel.jeremyevans.net/rdoc/files/doc/opening_databases_rdoc.html)\nto the constructor.\n\n## Usage\n\nThere are three major parts to this library:\n\nWordNet::Lexicon\n: the interface to the dictionary, used to connect to the\ndatabase and look up Words and Synsets.\n\nWordNet::Word\n: the English word entries in the Lexicon that are mapped\nto Synsets via one or more Senses.\n\nWordNet::Synset\n: the main artifact of WordNet: a \"synonym set\". These\n: are connected to one or more Words through a Sense,\nand are connected to each other via SemanticLinks.\n\nThe other object classes exist mostly as a way of representing relationships\nbetween the main three:\n\nWordNet::Sense\n: represents a link between one or more Words and\none or more Synsets for one meaning of the word.\n\nWordNet::SemanticLink\n: represents a link between Synsets\n\nWordNet::LexicalLink\n: represents a link between Words in Synsets\n\nWordNet::Morph\n: an interface to a lookup table of irregular word\nforms mapped to their base form (lemma)\n\n\nThe last class (WordNet::Model) is the abstract superclass for all the others,\nand inherits most of its functionality from Sequel::Model, the ORM layer\nof the Sequel toolkit. It's mostly just a container for the database\nconnection, with some convenience methods to allow the database connection\nto be deferred until runtime instead of when the library loads.\n\nThe library also comes with the beginnings of support for the SUMO-WordNet\nmapping:\n\nWordNet::SumoTerm\n: [Suggested Upper Merged Ontology](http://www.ontologyportal.org/) terms,\nwith associations back to related Synsets.\n\nAs mentioned above, SqlUNet has done an amazing job of linking up a number of\nother useful linguistic lexicons via WordNet synsets. I plan on adding support\nfor at minimum VerbNet, FrameNet, and PropBank.\n\n\n## Requirements\n\n* Ruby \u003e= 3.0\n* Sequel \u003e= 5.0\n\n\n## Contributing\n\nYou can check out the current development source with Mercurial via its\n[project page](https://hg.sr.ht/~ged/ruby-wordnet). Or if you prefer\nGit, via [its Github mirror](https://github.com/ged/ruby-wordnet).\n\nAfter checking out the source, run:\n\n    $ gem install -Ng\n    $ rake setup\n\nThis will do any necessary development environment set up.\n\n\n## Authors\n\n* Michael Granger \u003cged@FaerieMUD.org\u003e\n\n\n## License\n\nCopyright (c) 2002-2023, Michael Granger\nAll rights reserved.\n\nRedistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without\nmodification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:\n\n* Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice,\n  this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.\n\n* Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice,\n  this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation\n  and/or other materials provided with the distribution.\n\n* Neither the name of the author/s, nor the names of the project's\n  contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this\n  software without specific prior written permission.\n\nTHIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS \"AS IS\"\nAND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE\nIMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE\nDISCLAIMED.
