Mapping WordNet to a relational network

This paper discusses the implementation of a lexical knowledge base, based on a conceptualization of the problem domain in terms of relational network notation. In particular, we focus here on the importing of lemmas as instances from WordNet 2.0 into the knowledge base. Relational network notation (RNN) offers a simple yet powerful means for representing lexicogrammatical, semantic and sememic information. RNN is driven by relational network theory and incorporates developments in the theory which have been shown to not only describe but also explain linguistic phenomena in a neurologically plausible manner.
