WordNet 1.5 is now available for ftp.

WordNet is an on-line lexical reference system whose design is inspired by current psycholinguistic theories of human lexical memory. English nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are organized into synonym sets, each representing one underlying lexical concept. Different relations link the synonym sets.

WordNet was developed in the Cognitive Science Laboratory at Princeton University under the direction of Professor George Miller.

For up-to-date project information, see the current Human Language Technology Quarterly Status Report.

You can experiment with WordNet 1.5 by running our WWW interface. Please send comments to wordnet@princeton.edu.

Other interfaces have been developed by WordNet users:

An interface to WordNet 1.4 developed at the MIT media lab.
A "one-touch" interface to WordNet 1.5 developed by Greg Peterson at Notre Dame Women's College in Kyoto, Japan.
Another "one-touch"-type interface to WordNet 1.5 allows you to select multiple searches at one time. This was developed by Andrew Daviel at Vancouver Webpages.
A Common Lisp interface to WordNet has been developed by Mark Nahabedian at the MIT AI Lab. This is not an interactive browser, however you can read about and download the interface.
