    Dear list members,

    We are pleased to announce the public release of the complete
    mapping between WordNet 1.5 and WordNet 1.6.

    The mapping covers nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs and
    has been performed by means of an automatic process. We used
    a constraint satisfaction algorithm (relaxation labelling) to select
    -among a set of candidates- the node in WN1.6 that best matches
    each node in WN1.5. We mapped both resources using mainly
    structural information (i.e. synset relationships), and some help
    from glosses and synset words in the cases where structure
    was not enough (adjectives and adverbs).

    The framework of the mapping was presented at the ACL meeting
    last october in Hong Kong:

    Daudé J., Padró L. and Rigau G., Mapping WordNets Using
    Structural Information , 38th Anual Meeting of the Association for
    Computational Linguistics (ACL'2000). Hong Kong, October 2000.

    You can download the database from:

    Best whishes,

    Jordi Daudé, Lluis Padró and German Rigau
