WordNet
People are really using the dictionary. Yesterday i had 2200 unique ip addresses, this means i have to include other popular and freely available dictionaries. One of the best ones out there is WordNet. http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/ The word database looks like a lot of text and index files. I need to really understand the relationship before writing scripts to import it in to SQL server.

  • It'd be nice if you could use the Scrabble dictionary too! Great application... thanks for sharing.

  • I have Wordnet 1.7 as well as Wordnet 2.0 already setup as a SQL Server 2000 database with separate tables that define the relationships between the words and synsets. Feel free to ping me at jt_kane at comcast dot net, and we can talk about how to incorporate this database into your very good Dictionary application!
    Thanks,

  • Hey John,

    your email bounces back.

    Is there an another email to reach you. I would really like to have the database scripts/dump.

  • Gavi -- Google tells me you should try jt-kane instead of jt_kane.

    I hope more dictionaries do not mean more tabs. Can't result from multiple dictionaries be shown one under the other, the way dictionary.com does?

  • Sorry, my mistake! It should be jt-kane at comcast dot net. Note, the dash/hyphen vs. an underscore!

  • I just discovered ObjectGraph. Splendid work! I'm fascinated by the speed of it all and will post it on my blog. Now, if someone could just make a Konfabulator widget out of this, it would totally blow my mind!
