• Prolog Version for Windows (ported by TszYan Sandy Chow)
    1. You need to download SWI-Prolog.

      Freely available from www.swi-prolog.org.

    2. You don't need to download WordNet.

      A re-indexed version of the WordNet 1.7.1 database for Prolog (available from Princeton University) is included.

    43.3 MB WinZip file
    Double click on file connection to run.

    Then use the connect/2 predicate as shown in the generic Prolog version here.

  • Generic Prolog Version wnconnect
    1. You need a Prolog.

      I used Sicstus Prolog (from SICS, not free) to build wnconnect. You can try to port the files to a free Prolog (e.g. SWI-Prolog is freely available).

    2. You don't need to download WordNet.

      A re-indexed version of the WordNet 1.7.1 database for Prolog (available from Princeton University) is included.

      [This has been done for efficiency reasons. Internally, wnconnect does not use the Princeton synset ids, although they are still available for output.]

      A compiled Sicstus Prolog .ql version of the .pl source database is also included for convenience.

      An additional relation fn/4 (common file number), not given in the Princeton WordNet distribution, is also included. For a description of fn/4, see here.

    Install instructions? Un-gzip and untar it.
    [Okay, you will need to recompile the foreign (C) code
    if you're not on a Mac.]
