# English WordNet

The English WordNet as individual files in [GWN-LMF](http://globalwordnet.github.io/schemas/)
format. This Wordnet is an attempt to make it easier to provide feedback in the
form of patches to the [Princeton Wordnet](https://wordnet.princeton.edu/).
It is undergoing a first trial in Summer 2018.
English WordNet is a lexical network of the English language grouping words into synsets and linking them according
to relationships such as hypernymy, antonymy and meronymy. It is intended to be used in natural language processing
applications and provides deep lexical information about the English language as a graph.

English WordNet is a fork of the [Princeton Wordnet](https://wordnet.princeton.edu/) developed under
an open source methodology. The quality and veracity of the resource may differ from the Princeton
WordNet and we welcome contributions. The English WordNet is available as individual files in [GWN-LMF](http://globalwordnet.github.io/schemas/) format.
