Summary
-------
JWKTL (Java-based Wiktionary Library) is an application programming
interface for the free multilingual online dictionary Wiktionary
(https://www.wiktionary.org). Wiktionary is collaboratively constructed
by volunteers and continually growing. JWKTL enables efficient and
structured access to the information encoded in the English and German Wiktionary language editions, including sense definitions,
part of speech tags, etymology, example sentences, translations,
semantic relations, and many other lexical information types. The
API was first described in an LREC 2008 paper.
Further information and documentation is available from the project homepage:

Project Background
------------------
Prior to being available as open source software, JWKTL was a research
project at the Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing (UKP) Lab of Technische
Universität Darmstadt, Germany under the auspices of Prof. Iryna Gurevych.
Since being open source software, JWKTL is developed by multiple contributors
(see CONTRIBUTORS.txt for details).
