Thanks! :-)

For the time being, I only do a simple match to see what wordnet terms 
begins with the same letters as the tag.

It would have to be in a future application of these data, I don't have 
a milestone for that now, but it is the idea that it should be done.

Currently, I store URIs in a MySQL database, both the object URI, e.g.
http://www.w3.org/2006/03/wn/wn20/instances/wordsense-dinner-noun-2
and a predicate URI. Currently, the default predicate URI is 
http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#topic
as I have plans to support SIOC. 

What kind of information resource there is at the wordnet URI doesn't 
currently influence my application, so if there would be a SKOS 
resource there at some point in the future, it would be all good. 

If a different URI is used to point to a SKOS formulation of a Wordnet, 
then I would have to evaluate how the URIs are being used. Right now, 
the URIs are not even exposed, so if I don't get around to do anything 
with them, that's easy enough. 

I would be interested in what comes out of the Wordnet RDF/OWL/SKOS 
work.


BTW, I just found that our users have mapped 466 tags to Wordnet terms. 
That's pretty good, I would say! :-)
