Welcome to the home page for the WordNet.Net library - the .Net Framework
library for WordNet.
The initial source release was on 6 June 2005. This library is maintained
and managed by Troy Simpson.
Malcolm Crowe
is the author of the legacy library code which is now superceded by several
WordNet database versions and library enhancements/bug fixes.
A WordNet 2.1 version of WordNet.Net has been tagged.
This tagged version is static - it will not be updated with any new bug
fixes or enhancements. All further development of WordNet.Net is now
for WordNet 3.0. Browse the
WordNet
2.1 version online. The subversion checkout address is
http://wordnetdotnet.googlecode.com/svn/tags/WordNet2.1
I have updated the WordNet.Net library to use the WordNet 3.0 library. The WordNet 2.1 version has been tagged and will no longer be updated. The sample projects have been updated along with the library.

Last known bugs repaired
The last known bugs have been repaired, so I guess the library has reached a 'stable' status. However, this is not to say that there are no bugs in the library :). That's where I need all the help I can get to find inconsistencies in how the library returns information from the WordNet database.

WordNet.Net Converted to .Net Framework 2.0
I have finally made the .Net Framework 2.0 conversion. You can now work with the solutions with Visual Studio .Net 2005 or SharpDevelop 2.0. You can open anything that is fully c# with c# express, but you will not be able to open projects like the treeview sample which are a mixture of vb.net and c# unless you use SharpDevelop 2 or Visual Studio 2005. The ASP.Net sample is yet to be converted, however the code itself is syntactically correct - the project just needs to be recreated for .Net Framework 2.0.
"Dave" has contributed a WordNet.Net UML diagram he created as part of his 3rd year dissertation. He used the UML Explorer tool by ModelMaker Tools. Thankyou Dave, I hope this diagram proves useful/interesting to other WordNet.Net users.

Development in .Net Framework 2.0 Underway
The conversion to the .Net Framework 2.0 is not difficult, but the process has offered the opportunity to review some of the code design. Hierarchical data is now much cleaner and there is now an opportunity to override methods which couldn't be done before without duplicating the entire library. This is all work in progress, so any feedback will be appreciated. The link to the repository for the work in progress is here: http://opensvn.csie.org/WordNetDotNet/branches/CorsavyBuild. Note that you can use SharpDevelop (.Net Framework 2 version) for development, as well as Visual Studio .Net 2005.

Success with Hierarchical Results in WordNet.Net
The challenge to implement hierarchical results into WordNet.Net has finally come to an end with some code modifications to the library and a successful test. Hierarchical results finally open the door to exciting developments, including dynamic user interfaces and a more complete NLP project platform. Bugs may exist in this new development so please help by reporting them. See hierarchical results in action in the TreeView test under the vb folder in samples. ~Troy
Richard Northedge was kind enough to send a code sample for testing the WordNet indeces against the search methods. It is now in the repository under the Tools folder

Lexicon Class Updated
Jeff Martin has updated the Lexicon class and sample to provide a list of synonyms for a given word. A further explanation of the class taken from the code commenting is "...the Lexicon class is intended to provide a simple and straightforward interface

Lexicon Class Sample Released
Jeff Martin sent the sample to go with the Lexicon class - the project is pretty simple and easily demonstrates the use of the lexicon class. The new sample is in the repository; while I was at it I fixed some broken references I created in other samples
