The specific XML representation is determined by RDF's XML syntax rules, so I didn't (thankfully) have to give any thought to the details of the elements/attributes in the markup. The goal was to be able to write XML/RDF documents that use tags from an "XML namespace" consisting of the classes implicit in WordNet's hypernym hierarchy. My Perl code is too buggy to give out; if there was a nice Perl API for WordNet I could use I'd happily recode this and circulate. Rough details are online at http://xmlns.com/2001/08/wordnet/ ...do note the 'Issues' though; there is a serious problem with the current encoding: it confuses specific terms with the synsets they fall in. This came about due to the way my code works, I parse the output of the wordnet command line tools; hence my desire for a cleaner API to build things with. suggestions / feedback welcomed, --danbri -- mailto:danbri@w3.org http://www.w3.org/People/DanBri/
