There are some key differences though: 1. The vu.nl version includes all of Wordnet. Mine is just the nouns. 2. The vu.nl version uses a SKOS-like modelling (though not SKOS): "cat" for example has an rdf:type of something like "Noun". In mine, "Cat" would have an rdf:type of rdfs:Class - i.e. I define each noun as a class. I also include a parallel SKOS mapping of Wordnet 3 and reference between them using rdfs:seeAlso/foaf:focus. 3. I define superclasses to group all reasonable interpretations of English language words. e.g. a "Fool" superclass that is the union of "Fool, as in incompetent person", "Fool, as in gullible person" and "Fool, as in jester". -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:[email protected]> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
