It's an extension of [WordNet API](https://projects.csail.mit.edu/jwi/) and [VerbNet API](http://projects.csail.mit.edu/jverbnet/) to analyze the structures of WordNet and VerbNet as well as extract information from both hierarchical structured commonsense knowledge database.

For WordNet, the [JWI (the MIT Java Wordnet Interface)](https://projects.csail.mit.edu/jwi/) tool is used, which is a Java library for interfacing with Wordnet. JWI supports access to Wordnet versions `1.6` through `3.0`, among other related Wordnet extensions. Currently, JWI is released at version `2.4.0`, all the binaries, manuals, development kit, API reference and etc. are available [here](https://projects.csail.mit.edu/jwi/). Besides, it's also allowed to be import into project through maven snippet: [[link]](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/edu.mit/jwi) (latest version `2.2.3`).

For VerbNet, the [JVerbnet](http://projects.csail.mit.edu/jverbnet/) tool is used, which is a Java library for interfacing with [the University of Colorado's VerbNet data](https://verbs.colorado.edu/verbnet/). It features API calls to retrieve verb classes by their id numbers, associated Wordnet keys or Propbank groupings. Currently, JVerbnet is released at version `1.2.0`, samely, all the related resources are available at its project website, [here](http://projects.csail.mit.edu/jverbnet/). And its maven snippet is accessible through this [link](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/edu.mit/jverbnet) (latest vernsion `1.2.0.1`).

Thus, this repository also contains all the methods and functions in the above tools, and, in addition, in order to make the WordNet and VerbNet are easily to be accessed, 

### WordNet

WordNet (WN) is a lexical database for the English language. It groups English words into sets of [synonyms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synonyms) called [synsets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synsets), provides short definitions and usage examples, and records a number of relations among these synonym sets or their members. WordNet can thus be seen as a combination of dictionary and thesaurus. For more details about **WordNet**, please see its official webpage: [[link]](https://wordnet.princeton.edu).

[**WordNet Online Demo!**](http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn)

### VerbNet

VerbNet (VN) is the largest online verb lexicon currently available for English. It is a hierarchical domain-independent, broad-coverage verb lexicon with mappings to other lexical resources such as WordNet, Xtag, and FrameNet. VerbNet is organized into verb classes extending Levin classes through refinement and addition of subclasses to achieve syntactic and semantic coherence among members of a class. Each verb class in VN is completely described by [thematic roles](http://verbs.colorado.edu/~mpalmer/projects/verbnet.html#thetaroles), [selectional restrictions on the arguments](http://verbs.colorado.edu/~mpalmer/projects/verbnet.html#selrestr), and [frames](http://verbs.colorado.edu/~mpalmer/projects/verbnet.html#frames) consisting of a syntactic description and semantic predicates with a temporal function. For more details about **VerbNet**, please see its official webpage: [[link]](http://verbs.colorado.edu/~mpalmer/projects/verbnet.html).

### Usage

**WordNet** (sample usages):

```java

public class GeneralWordNetExample {

    public static void main (String[] args) {

        // get Verb Synset Iterator

        Iterator synsetIterator = WordNet.getSynsetIterator(POS.VERB);

        // validate and parse Sense Key String

        String senseKeyString = "make_clean%2:35:00::";

        // if senseKeyString is valid, convert it to ISenseKey, otherwise null

        ISenseKey key = WordNet.senseKeyPattern(senseKeyString) ? WordNet.parseSenseKeyString(senseKeyString) : null;

        assert key != null;

        IWord iWord = WordNet.getWordBySenseKey(key); // obtain IWord

        System.out.println(iWord.getLemma() + "\t" + iWord.getSynset() + "\t" + iWord.getLexicalID() + "...");

        // validate and parse Word ID

        String wordIdString = "WID-01535377-V-02-make_clean";

        System.out.println("WordID Pattern Result: " + WordNet.wordIdPattern(wordIdString));

        IWordID wordId = WordNet.wordIdPattern(wordIdString) ? WordNet.parseIWordIDString(wordIdString) : null;

        iWord =  WordNet.getWordByWordId(wordId);

        // validate and parse Synset ID

        ISynsetID synsetId = WordNet.parseSynsetIDString("SID-02081903-V");

        System.out.println("SynsetID Pattern Result: " + WordNet.synsetIdPattern("SID-02081903-V"));

        // others

        String lemma = "take";

        List ids = WordNet.getIndexWord(lemma, POS.VERB).getWordIDs();

        int index = 0;

        for (IWordID id : ids) {

            index++;

            iWord = WordNet.getWordByWordId(id);

            System.out.println(iWord.getLemma() + "\t" + WordNet.getTagCount4IWord(iWord) + "\t" + WordNet.getSenseNumber4IWord(iWord));

        }

        System.out.println(index);

        System.out.println(WordNet.getNumberOfSense4Word(lemma, POS.VERB));

        // ......

    }

}

```

**VerbNet**:

```java

public class GeneralVerbNetExample {

    public static void main (String[] args) {

        System.out.println("All Classes: " + VerbNet.countAllVerbClasses());

        System.out.println("Root Classes: " + VerbNet.countRootVerbClasses());

        System.out.println("Sub Classes: " + VerbNet.countSubVerbClasses());

        Iterator iterator = VerbNet.rootVerbClassIterator(); // get IVerbClass iterator

        List rootVerbs = VerbNet.getRootVerbClasses();

        IVerbClass iVerbClass = VerbNet.getRootVerb("hit-18.1");

        List members = iVerbClass.getMembers();

        List wordNetKeys = VerbNet.iMemberToWordNetKeys(members.get(0)); 

        // ...

    }

}

```
