Fwd'd from the Wordnet list. Interesting both as a strategy for
generating URIs, and as another project/dataset that is organised using
these IDs and is looking for intereop with other Semantic Web apps.

Subject: Sense keys in HyperDic 2.0
Message-ID: <200407190738.i6J7c9Ya000963@Princeton.EDU>
Reply-To: Eric Kafe <kafe@MEGADOC.NET>
The HyperDic online hyper-dictionary,
freely accessible at http://www.hyperdic.com/
was recently updated to WordNet 2.0, with full
coverage of over 140,000 word forms.
As a notable change in this version of HyperDic,
any reference to WordNet's merely accidental
"synset offsets" has been entirely abandoned.
Instead, HyperDic now references each individual
word sense with a permanent identifier, consisting
in the non-void parts of WordNet's "sense key"
and expressed as a hypertext anchor.
Quoting WordNet's "senseidx" manual page:
A sense_key is the best way to represent a sense
in semantic tagging or other systems that refer to
WordNet senses. sense_keys are independent of WordNet
sense numbers and synset_offsets, which vary between
versions of the database.
Thus, sense keys provide a stable basis for the
inter-operation between semantic web applications
that rely on different versions of WordNet.
Best regards
Eric Kafe
