NAME

wnDepths.pl - Find the depths of WordNet taxonomies

SYNOPSIS

  wnDepths.pl [[--wnpath=PATH] [--outfile=FILE|-] 
                [--depthfile=FILE] [--wps] [--verbose]]
                | --help | --version]

DESCRIPTION

wnDepths.pl finds the depths of WordNet's noun and verb taxonomies; it can also find the depth of each synset in WordNet. This program was originally written for use with the WordNet::Similarity::lch and WordNet::Similarity::wup measures of semantic similarity, but it likely has other uses as well.

OPTIONS

--wnpath=path

The path to WordNet data files. The default is /usr/local/WordNet-3.0/dict on Unix and C:\WordNet\3.0\dict on Windows.

--outfile=file

The file to which the maximum depths of the taxomomies should be output. If this option is not given, or if the file name is -, then output will be sent to the standard output.

--depthfile=file

The file to which the depth of every noun and verb synset should be sent.

--wps

The names of synsets in the output as "word#part_of_speech#sense" strings rather than as offsets.

--verbose

Be verbose.

--help

Show detailed help message.

--version

Show version information.
