[Corpora-List] Re: Re: hyperonyms - WordNet extractions

[Damon Davison]

I also do not see why you shouldn't be able to do with with Perl
(or Python for that matter at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywordnet).  Have a look at CPAN
http://www.cpan.org/ and search for modules containing "WordNet"
and "Lingua".

By the way, simple text files are really not the way to go for
more complex semantic relationships.  You run into all sorts of
trouble when if/when your ontology has to track links across
multiple tree structures.  You might want to have a look at
(XML) topic maps.
