One at a time, though. I've introduced and tested this for Italian in UTF-8 using MultiWordNet, extJWNL supports the "encoding" parameter. The problem is usually with getting the data ;) Often non-English WordNets have obscure licenses. And converting it into proper format, from often used proprietary one, often also with extensions. But that's another issue.
Is it be possible to move the extJWNL code over here? I guess > I think yes. But I'm afraid it is not an active project with a long and clear roadmap and bright future, simply because WordNet is frozen too. And there is only one developer, not really a community. That does not seem to be the Apache-way. > it would be a good basis. There might legal issues because it > is a fork of JWNL. Yes, it is a fork. I'm not a lawyer, but as far as I know, JWNL has a BSD license, quite a permissive one. Still, touching JWNL brings us back to coref testing, and I didn't get to it yet. Aliaksandr
