[Corpora-List] Moving Lexical Semantics from Alchemy to Science

[Diana McCarthy]

Hi John

Adam may have more specific info as he was involved in the production 
but in case it helps:

Help on making web searches is at:
http://www.webdante.com/getting_started.html (only words in M-R 
available on this site)

some sample xml files:
http://www.webdante.com/sample_xml.html
(you can download the whole sample or individual headwords)

DTD is at http://www.webdante.com/the_dtd.html

Various publications at:
http://www.webdante.com/publications.html

note DANTE should be useful for many purposes (not just noun compounds).

If anyone wants to have access to the full xml  I'll be adding a link to 
a request form at:
http://www.webdante.com/licensing_options.html

just as soon as we have everything ready for release (as Adam says, we 
hope by end of Feb)

hope that helps

Diana
