'''What is [http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ WordNet]?'''
 
[http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ WordNet]® is a large lexical database of English. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms ('''synsets'''), each expressing a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related words and concepts can be navigated with the browser. [http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ WordNet] is also freely and publicly available for download. [http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ WordNet]'s structure makes it a useful tool for computational linguistics and natural language processing.
 
[http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ WordNet] superficially resembles a thesaurus, in that it groups words together based on their meanings. However, there are some important distinctions. First, [http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ WordNet] interlinks not just word forms—strings of letters—but specific senses of words. As a result, words that are found in close proximity to one another in the network are semantically disambiguated. Second, [http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ WordNet] labels the semantic relations among words, whereas the groupings of words in a thesaurus does not follow any explicit pattern other than meaning similarity.
