net.didion.jwnl.data

Classes for extracting and containing data from the dictionary.

The main objects are IndexWord, Synset, and Exc. These generally have a 1 to 1 correspondence with the different types of dictionary file.

Interface Summary

Class Summary
Class	Description
Adjective	An `Adjective` is a `Word` that can have an adjective position.
Adjective.AdjectivePosition	Adjective positions denote a restriction on the on the syntactic position the adjective may have in relation to noun that it modifies.

Exc	Represents an entry in an exception file.
IndexWord	An `IndexWord` represents a line of the `pos.index` file.
IndexWordSet	A class to simplify the access to a set of `IndexWord`s, each containing one part of speech of the same word.
LexFileIdMap	LexFileIdMap maps the names of the lexiographer files to the identifiers found in the data.pos files.
Pointer	A `Pointer` encodes a lexical or semantic relationship between WordNet entities.
Pointer.TargetIndex	This class is used to avoid paging in the target before it is required, and to prevent keeping a large portion of the database resident once the target has been queried.
PointerTarget	A `PointerTarget` is the source or target of a `Pointer`.
PointerType	Instances of this class enumerate the possible WordNet pointer types, and are used to label `PointerType`s.
PointerUtils	This class constains static methods for performing various pointer operations.
POS	Instances of this class enumerate the possible major syntactic categories, or Part's Of Speech.
Synset	A `Synset`, or synonym set, represents a line of a WordNet `pos.data` file.
SynsetProxy	Proxy for a `Synset`.
Verb	A `Verb` is a subclass of `Word` that can have 1 or more `VerbFrame`s (use cases of the verb).
VerbFrame	A `VerbFrame` is the frame of a sentence in which it is proper to use a given verb.
