Here are some comments, mostly editorial, Mark. 

2. Introduction to WordNet in RDF/OWL

subsection Overview of classes ...

The %lexform% is " thelexical form of the first WordSense of the Synset."

I guess "first" is as given in the Princeton source and is not intended
to be represented anywhere else (e.g. in the RDF), correct?  There
are later references to the order of the word senses not being significant.

Figure 2: missing hypernymOf and the subproperties for classifiedBy
and meronymOf.

Example queries

Typo in first query; the last pattern should be

  ?aWord wn20schema:lexicalForm "bank"@en-US }

Introduction to the WordNet datamodel

Typo: "There is one more specific kind of /-adverb-//+adjective+/ called
an adjective satellite."

3. Selecting and Querying ...

Typo after the list of triples:  "... same as the result /-to-//+of the+/
following SPARQL query"

Appendix D

It's hard to understand which way hypernymOf and hyponymOf go.
I suggest including some triples here for an example.

The same is true of the classifiedByTopic, Usage, and Region
properties as well as the meronymOf subproperties.

Appendix F

At the end of the paragraph comparing this conversion to the
Neuchatel conversion, there's a typo; this conversion uses
slash URIs, not hash URIs.

Appendix G

Is '/' the only character that appears in Princeton's dataset that
needed to be changed?  Are there any other NCname reserved
characters used?  I gather than "_" is used consistently in place
of (a) space character(s).

Appendix H

Second to final sentence; I think you mean "uniqueness" rather
than "unicity".

Appendix I

Typo in second paragraph: s/OLW/OWL/
