Instructions

Please note that:

The thesis implementation
is not
meant to be run as-is!

The reason is that I cannot redistribute either the WI analysis or the WI lexicon on which the implementation is based.

Since the process depends on this input, you really cannot run this as-is, except if you have access to those two databases.

The software is only provided for you to study and/or modify.

Having said that:

• The thesis implementation is written in Jython. There's a README in there somewhere which explains how to use it.

  It uses:

  • Emdros
  • Notio (in the modified version)
  • Metamata
  • The Java SWIG bindings from lexont.

• The lexont software is written in C++. It transforms the WI lexicon (not provided) to an ontology.

  It uses:

  • WordNet, and
  • libxml++, which in turn uses
  • libxml2.

Licenses

• Thesis implementation: BSD
• lexont: GPL
• Emdros: GPL
• WordNet: See License for WordNet
