It's like Artha. :)
What is artha?
A UI for wordnet - http://artha.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Home
I use dict instead.
Far better than wn I think.
While dict is nice ...
a. It requires you be to connected to a dict server (ie: connected to the net,
unless you are running your own server !)
b. It is just a dictionary. Whereas wordnet is more like a thesaurus. For
example to find opposites (antonmys) of a noun, verb, adjective, call:
wn [noun|verb|adjective] -ants[n|v|a]
eg:
$ wn top -antsn
$ wn go -antsv
$ wn bright -antsa
You can also find hypernyms, hyponyms and synonyms (besides other stuff that I
do not understand or use). Run 'wn' without any arguments or 'man wn' for more info.
cheers,
- steve
