Re: SUO: CG representations for WordNet




Richard,
   Since KIF and CGs are equivalent, our Suggested Upper Merged Ontology 
(SUMO) could be expressed in CG.  We've mapped all 100,000 WordNet synsets 
to SUMO.  Both the ontology and the mappings are free.  The mappings are 
released under the GNU license.  See our main page at 
<http://ontology.teknowledge.com> or go directly to 
<http://ontology.teknowledge.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SUO/>.  The SUMO is 
listed as "Merge.txt" and the WordNet mappings are in WordNet file format 
and labeled as WordNetMappings-Top.txt, WordNetMappings-adjectives.txt, 
WordNetMappings-adverbs.txt and WordNetMappings-verbs.txt
