Hi list,
has anyone started with/plans for a browser for a WordNet lexical db in Smalltalk? I checked their Prolog formatted files,
- http://wordnet.princeton.edu/obtain
actually read them into a Squeak .image; they need only a handful of memory MB (7.5, strings as yet not symbolized) plus less than 10MB of disk space if gloss texts would be stored in the .changes file.
Also, if anyone already has (or had) ideas for a GUI for a WordNet browser in Squeak please let me know (!) I cannot say I like their basic Web interface (it has nothing that a Smalltalk browser offers)
- http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?o0=1&o1=1&r=1&s=small+ta...
and think that can be done better for local use, for example in class rooms (and of course when authoring documentation for Squeak ;) but, unlikely for the OLPC because of the footprint.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
