In our meeting of Feb 24, there was some discussion of the concept of
"pipe". This is an example used in the McCarthy paper, and we were
wondering how that fit into the WordNet hierarchy. Well, here's how. :)
What you see below is the output of the command
wn pipe -hypen
which shows all the hypernyms of pipe. Each sense of pipe is represented
by it's own node in WordNet, and you can think of each of the following as
a network of nodes based at each sense. Note as well that each node (or
synset) may be made up of multiple words (like pipe and tobacco_pipe)
which are synonyms and considered to have the same meaning.
