ODWN-Reader

The goal of this repository is to load Open Dutch WordNet into Python classes as well as compute descriptive statistics.

Prerequisites

Python 3.6 was used to create this project. It might work with older versions of Python.

Installing

A number of external modules need to be installed, which are listed in requirements.txt. Depending on how you installed Python, you can probably install the requirements using one of following commands:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Also, please download the relevant resources by calling:

bash install.sh

Functionality

Function 1: load ORBN senses

import ODWN_reader
senseid_to_sense_obj = ODWN_reader.senseid_to_sense_obj

senseid_to_sense_obj is mapping from a sense identifier to a LE object. We included two types of sense identifiers:

• r_: RBN
• c_: Cornetto

The definition of the LE object is found in odwn_classes.LE.

Function 2: load phrasal entries

import ODWN_reader
verb_to_phrasal_entries = ODWN_Reader.verb_to_phrasal_entries

verb_to_phrasal_entries conains a mapping from a verb head, e.g., "bieden", to all phrasal entries in RBN that are marked as "phrasal" (morpho_type == 'phrasal').

Function 3: ORBN in Lemon

You can load ORBN in Lemon the following way:

import ODWN_reader
orbn_in_lemon = ODWN_reader.load_orbn_in_lemon(ODWN_reader.orbn_lemon_path)

Function: mapping senseid to URI

the attribute 'senseid_to_uri' contains the mapping from an ORBN sense id to a URI of the sense.

import ODWN_reader 
ODWN_reader.senseid_to_uri

TODO

• RDF namespace of WordNet 3.0
