[Corpora-List] Dictionary network analysis

[Yorick Wilks]

If you look in this book youll find lots of old stuff on extracting networks empirically from LDOCE by means of sense ambiguity resolution:
http://books.google.com/books?id=AjYX8XfNtBcC&pg=PA164&lpg=PA164&dq=wilks+guthrie+LDOCE&source=bl&ots=LGn-vr06H1&sig=Ok8EtJK7L7ouiNZDfu4D3E4uPzU&hl=en&sa=X&ei=4SGBUrPtEaOm2AWUnYCQBA&ved=0CBgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=wilks%20guthrie%20LDOCE&f=false

The PATHFINDER paradigm also treated dictionaries like LDOCE as weighted semantic networks for IR and WSD. That work is described in the book above and also at:

Thats old stuff and since then there is masses of work on traversing Wordnet (already a dictionary and a form of semantic network) for a wide range of purposes.

I want to find the central words (words used in definitions of important words), and central concepts (words that have important words as synonyms or similars).  Would anyone be able to point me toward relevant research? I'm also interested in collaborating with someone familiar with network analysis.
