Global WordNet Grid LMF parser

This repo also provides a python module to work with the Open Dutch WordNet XML. Please first check the Issues to see if your question has already been answered. It was created using python 3.4. The most recent version (1.3) of the resource can be found here. Three pdf files in this repository document the resource:

• odwn_documentation.pdf: technical report of the creation of version 1.0
• gwc2016_odwn13.pdf: paper accepted at the Global WordNet Conference 2016
• slides_gwc2016_odwn13.pdf: slides from presentating odwn at the Global WordNet Conference 2016

##USAGE AND INSTALL git clone this repository.

The python module 'lxml' is needed. Hopefully, 'pip install lxml' will do the trick. If you prefer using a virtual environment, everything should be installed by calling 'bash install.sh' in the module directory. Don't forget to source your virtual environment each time you use the module.

Epydoc was used to document the code (http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/). The documentation can be found here. The general idea of the module is that it consists of a lot of classes which are inherited by the main class 'Wn_grid_parser'.

python

>>> from OpenDutchWordnet import Wn_grid_parser

#please check the attribute LICENSE before using this module
>>> print(Wn_grid_parser.LICENSE)

#the attribute 'odwn' stores the path to the most recent version
>>>print(Wn_grid_parser.odwn)

#example of how to use module
>>> instance = Wn_grid_parser(Wn_grid_parser.odwn)

>>> le_el = instance.les_find_le("havenplaats-n-1")
>>> le_el.get_id()
'havenplaats-n-1'
>>> le_el.get_lemma()
'havenplaats'
>>> le_el.get_pos()
'noun'
>>> le_el.get_sense_id()
'o_n-109910434'
>>> le_el.get_provenance()
'cdb2.2_Auto'
>>> le_el.get_synset_id()
'eng-30-08633957-n'

>>> synset_el = instance.synsets_find_synset('eng-30-00324560-v')
>>> synset_el.get_id()
