# Natural Language Toolkit: WordNet Browser Application # # Copyright (C) 2001-2012 NLTK Project # Author: Jussi Salmela # Paul Bone # URL: # For license information, see LICENSE.TXT """ A WordNet Browser application which launches the default browser (if it is not already running) and opens a new tab with a connection to http://localhost:port/ . It also starts an HTTP server on the specified port and begins serving browser requests. The default port is 8000. (For command-line help, run "python wordnet -h") This application requires that the user's web browser supports Javascript. BrowServer is a server for browsing the NLTK Wordnet database It first launches a browser client to be used for browsing and then starts serving the requests of that and maybe other clients Usage:: browserver.py -h browserver.py [-s] [-p ] Options:: -h or --help Display this help message. -l or --log-file Logs messages to the given file, If this option is not specified messages are silently dropped. -p or --port Run the web server on this TCP port, defaults to 8000. -s or --server-mode Do not start a web browser, and do not allow a user to shotdown the server through the web interface.

Search Help

  • The display below the line is an example of the output the browser shows you when you enter a search word. The search word was green.
  • The search result shows for different parts of speech the synsets i.e. different meanings for the word.
  • All underlined texts are hypertext links. There are two types of links: word links and others. Clicking a word link carries out a search for the word in the Wordnet database.
  • Clicking a link of the other type opens a display section of data attached to that link. Clicking that link a second time closes the section again.
  • Clicking S: opens a section showing the relations for that synset.
  • Clicking on a relation name opens a section that displays the associated synsets.
  • Type a search word in the Word field and start the search by the Enter/Return key or click the Search button.

    NLTK Wordnet Browser Help

    The NLTK Wordnet Browser is a tool to use in browsing the Wordnet database. It tries to behave like the Wordnet project's web browser but the difference is that the NLTK Wordnet Browser uses a local Wordnet database.

    You are using the Javascript client part of the NLTK Wordnet BrowseServer. We assume your browser is in tab sheets enabled mode.

    For background information on Wordnet, see the Wordnet project home page: http://wordnet.princeton.edu/. For more information on the NLTK project, see the project home: http://nltk.sourceforge.net/. To get an idea of what the Wordnet version used by this browser includes choose Show Database Info from the View submenu.

    Word search

    The word to be searched is typed into the New Word field and the search started with Enter or by clicking the Search button. There is no uppercase/lowercase distinction: the search word is transformed to lowercase before the search.

    In addition, the word does not have to be in base form. The browser tries to find the possible base form(s) by making certain morphological substitutions. Typing fLIeS as an obscure example gives one this. Click the previous link to see what this kind of search looks like and then come back to this page by using the Alt+LeftArrow key combination.

    The result of a search is a display of one or more synsets for every part of speech in which a form of the search word was found to occur. A synset is a set of words having the same sense or meaning. Each word in a synset that is underlined is a hyperlink which can be clicked to trigger an automatic search for that word.

    Every synset has a hyperlink S: at the start of its display line. Clicking that symbol shows you the name of every relation that this synset is part of. Every relation name is a hyperlink that opens up a display for that relation. Clicking it another time closes the display again. Clicking another relation name on a line that has an opened relation closes the open relation and opens the clicked relation.

    It is also possible to give two or more words or collocations to be searched at the same time separating them with a comma like this cheer up,clear up, for example. Click the previous link to see what this kind of search looks like and then come back to this page by using the Alt+LeftArrow key combination. As you could see the search result includes the synsets found in the same order than the forms were given in the search field.

    There are also word level (lexical) relations recorded in the Wordnet database. Opening this kind of relation displays lines with a hyperlink W: at their beginning. Clicking this link shows more info on the word in question.

    The Buttons

    The Search and Help buttons need no more explanation.

    The Show Database Info button shows a collection of Wordnet database statistics.

    The Shutdown the Server button is shown for the first client of the BrowServer program i.e. for the client that is automatically launched when the BrowServer is started but not for the succeeding clients in order to protect the server from accidental shutdowns.
