Using the Alignment API with Wordnet
We explain how to use the API with wordnet. This is also useful when
using OLA.
Getting the required software
Different pieces of software are necessary for this integration:
- Alignment API
- as well as the OWL API are necessary. Its lib directory
contains the alignwn.jar file.
- Wordnet
- version 2.0 is used; it seems to work flawlessly with 3.0.
- The Java WordNet Library (JWNL)
- whose jar-file should be put in the same directory as alignwn.jar.
- Apache common-loggings
- commons-logging.jar should be put there as well.
Installing wordnet and configuring
First Wordnet must be compiled if this is not already done.
This will depend on your distribution and will not be further
detailed here.
Once installed, Wordnet usually has a "dict" directory whose path
is $WNDIR.
Running
This usually can be obtained by:
$ setenv CWD `pwd`
$ java -jar lib/alignwn.jar -Dwndict=$WNDIR file://$CWD/examples/rdf/edu.umbc.ebiquity.publication.owl file://$CWD/examples/rdf/edu.mit.visus.bibtex.owl -i fr.inrialpes.exmo.align.ling.JWNLAlignment -o examples/rdf/JWNL.rdf
