二、JWI（the MIT Java Wordnet Interface）

JWI is a Java library for interfacing with Wordnet. JWI supports access to Wordnet versions 1.6 through 3.0, among other related Wordnet extensions. Wordnet is a freely and publicly available semantic dictionary of English, developed at Princeton University.

JWI is written for Java 1.5.0 and has the package namespace edu.mit.jwi. The distribution does not include the Wordnet dictionary files; these can be downloaded from the Wordnet download site. This version of software is distributed under a license that makes it free to use for all purposes, as long as proper copyright acknowledgement is made.

The javadoc API is posted online for your convenience. So is the version changelog. If you find JWI useful, have found a bug, or would like to request a new feature, please contact me.
