About:
WordNet is a large lexical database of English nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. It groups words into sets of cognitive synonyms called synsets, each expressing a distinct concept, and provides short definitions and usage examples. It also records semantic relationships between these synsets, including hypernymy, hyponymy, and meronymy.
Key Features:
  • Extensive lexical database with over 150,000 words
  • Semantic network of synsets and conceptual relationships
  • Command-line interface for querying the database
  • APIs for integration with other applications
Use Cases:
  • Natural language processing and computational linguistics research
  • Semantic search and query expansion
  • AI and machine learning training data
  • Lexical analysis and text understanding tools
Alternatives:
  • ConceptNet – Open-source semantic network with multilingual support and crowdsourced knowledge
  • FrameNet – Focuses on semantic frames and predicate relationships rather than word senses
