LEXNAMES(5WN) WordNettm File Formats LEXNAMES(5WN) NAME List of WordNet lexicographer file names and numbers DESCRIPTION During WordNet development synsets are organized into forty-five lexicogra- pher files based on syntactic category and logical groupings. grind(1WN) processes these files and produces a database suitable for use with the WordNet library, interface code, and other applications. The format of the lexicographer files is described in wninput(5WN). A file number corresponds to each lexicographer file. File numbers are en- coded in several parts of the WordNet system as an efficient way to indi- cate a lexicographer file name. The file lexnames lists the mapping be- tween file names and numbers, and can be used by programs or end users to correlate the two. File Format Each line in lexnames contains 3 tab separated fields, and is terminated with a newline character. The first field is the two digit decimal integer file number. (The first file in the list is numbered 00.) The second field is the name of the lexicographer file that is represented by that number, and the third field is an integer that indicates the syntactic cat- egory of the synsets contained in the file. This is simply a shortcut for programs and scripts, since the syntactic category is also part of the lex- icographer file's name. Syntactic Category The syntactic category field is encoded as follows: 1 NOUN 2 VERB 3 ADJECTIVE 4 ADVERB Lexicographer Files The names of the lexicographer files and their corresponding file numbers are listed below along with a brief description each file's contents.
