- Several years back, we built an *amplified* and *corrected* database
of the classes, including non-examples. Doug Jones and Karen Kohl
and several others did this here.
- Some of the work is outlined inthe WordNet book edited by
Christiane Fellbaum (MIT Press): we have a chapter there describing the system
(used in another context, in Wordnet!)
- As far as I know, all of that should be freely available, since it is derived
data, without restrictions.
You'll have to track down Doug Jones
(now at the NSA - you will have to find his email) , or
Karen Kohl here (ktkohl@ai.mit.edu)
