Description

Interface Summary

Filter	Delegate to allow the passing of a predicate for filtering objects.
MorphyRemote
RemoteEnumeration	Provides an interface for using Enumeration objects remotely via RMI.
WordNetRemote	An interface describing methods that can be called via RMI to access the WordNet database.

Class Summary

ChildPointerFilter	Allows filtering out all WNPointer objects that are not child (hyponym) pointers.
ChildSemanticPointerFilter	Allows filtering out all WNPointer objects that are not child (hyponym) semantic pointers.
Debug	Debug is a static class that stores the current debugging level (default is zero, for no debugging output), debugging options, and other utility functions for debugging.
LexicalPointerFilter	Allows filtering out all WNPointer objects that are not lexical relations (i.e., non-semantic pointers).
Morphy	Implementation of morphological analyzer Morphy that is part of WordNet.
ParentPointerFilter	Allows filtering out all WNPointer objects that are not parent (hypernym) pointers.
ParentSemanticPointerFilter	Allows filtering out all WNPointer objects that are not parent (hypernym) semantic pointers.
PointerTypeFilter	Allows the filtering of arbitrary pointer types.
RemoteEnumerator	This class provides a wrapper for Enumeration objects to be accessed remotely via RMI.
SemanticPointerFilter	Allows filtering out all WNPointer objects that are not semantic pointers.
Utility	A set of static utility functions.
WNDataEntry	Container of all information associated with a synset's data entry in WordNet.
WNFile	A coupling of a filename with its associated RandomAccessFile object.
WNIndexEntry	Container of all information associated with a lemma's index entry in WordNet.
WNPointer	Container of all information about a pointer in the WordNet database.
WNWord	Representation of a lemma that is a member of a particular synset.
WordNet	The main object through which the WordNet database is accessed.
WordNetLocal	Implementation of the WordNetRemote interface, allowing access to the WordNet database via RMI.
WordNetServer	Implementation of the WordNetRemote interface, allowing access to the WordNet database via RMI.
WordNetTest	Test driver for this package, using RMI.

Exception Summary

WNIndexException

An (as yet) unused class to represent parse errors encountered during the constructed of WNIndexEntry objects.

Package danbikel.wordnet Description

Provides a Java interface to the WordNet database. This package requires an existing installation of either version 1.5 or 1.6 of the WordNet database; the version expected by the WordNet class defaults to 1.6, but may be overridden at runtime using the system property WNDBVERSION or may be specified by subclasses using the method WordNet.setWNDBversion(java.lang.String). Methods are provided to access all information from the data and index files produced by the WordNet program grind(1WN); support may be added in the future to access the small amount of additional information in the database. Finally, the class Morphy is a complete Java reimplementation of the WordNet morphological analyzer of the same name.
