    Dear list members,

    We are pleased to announce the public release of the complete
    mapping between WordNet 1.6 and WordNet 1.7.

    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 WN1.7 that best matches
    each node in WN1.6. 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 NAACL
    meeting last June in Pittsburg:

    Daudé J., Padró L. and Rigau G., A Complete WN1.5 to WN1.6 Mapping,
    Proceedings of NAACL Workshop "WordNet and Other Lexical Resources:
    Applications, Extensions and Customizations". Pittsburg, PA, United
    States, 2001.

    You can download the database from:

    Here you can also find information about our mappings of WordNet 1.5 to
    WordNet 1.6.

    Best whishes,

    Jordi Daudé, Lluis Padró and German Rigau
