Comparable with ewn-00506084-s is an odd usage as the "with" marks the complement, perhaps this could be merged into an existing synset for "comparable", such as ewn-00505894-a

hi, I can't seem to find the ordering sense in the XML format. for instance, if we look up the word dog on PWN, I get that the most common sense for dog is that of the domestic animal.

the XML format has the information of which words are most common in a given synset -- this ranking being -04 part in ewn-dog-n-09905672-04 -- but not which senses are most common for a given word, right? or have I overlooked something? cc @jmccrae @hmuniz

slammer%1:18:00:: is derived from basball_player. And it's def goes like this

a person who closes things violently; "she's a dramatic slammer of doors"

Especially the example sentence doesn't suit for a baseball players. I guess we should put this slammer to other places(for e.x., clumsy_person%1:18:01:: or unwelcome_person%1:18:00::). Or I could have more suitable def for a baseball player.

In editing XML files, I am facing the same troubles that Alexandre mentioned in Issue 26, 30. I would like to discuss this issue and find some solution to these problems. He listed two points.

1. the size of each lexicographer file is almost 10x times bigger than the original WordNet txt files
   --My vim almost freeze when I search a word in a huge file(e.x., adj.all). So I use "grep -n" and jump to the line number(Command line grep is faster than editor's search). However, this might be a problem.

2. synsets are not self-contained in the same file region
   --Wordform relations are separated from "synset tag" and put them in a "sense tag". Although this might be an emphasis of word-form independence from word-meaning, this makes it difficult to grasp the overview of a synset in this XML.

There are 4 kinds of updates in WordNet: def, meaning-link, wordform-link, and wordform itself. I can handle for def but it is difficult for meaning-link, wordform-link, and wordform.

Is there a way to make things easy for link and wordform?

The definition of morning_call goes like this:

a telephone call that you request be made a specific time in order to wake you up at that time (especially in hotels); "she left a wake-up call for 7 a.m."

I think this is a very strange sentence that doesn't make sense for me.
I found this several months ago, but unfortunately I still can't find a way to understand nor fix this.
Or am I missing some phrase or structure?

I really wish I could get the advice from native speakers.

There is a sense of "changed" ewn-01535138-s "changed in constitution or structure or composition by metamorphism; "metamorphic rocks". Corpus evidence seems to show no sign of this being used in a geological and the usage of this sense seems to be clearly educational, e.g.,

The only sense of "cumulous" is ewn-00541427-s "thrown together in a pile". Web corpus search quickly reveals that the most frequent sense is referring to the shape of clouds and there is no obvious corpus attestation for this sense.

This is the synset that include serious problem. I wish I could have your advice.

"English lexicographer who was a joint editor of the Oxford English Dictionary (1872-1966)"

The problem could be summerized in 2 points.

1.) He is a Scottish lexicographer not English.
2.) Birth date and death date are different from what enwiki says.(13 August 1867 – 2 September 1957)

And I found out that "C.T. Onions" meets these conditions.
1.) "C.T. Onions" is an English.
2.) Birth date and death date roughly matches. (10 September 1873 – 8 January 1965)

I am very troubled in fixing this synset.
I wish I could have a good idea.

1. This synset for minister has as ancestor the synsets http://wnpt.brlcloud.com/wn/synset?id=00023100-n and http://wnpt.brlcloud.com/wn/synset?id=00002137-n.

2. We also have http://wnpt.brlcloud.com/wn/synset?id=10320863-n , maybe duplicated?

3. On the other hand, http://wnpt.brlcloud.com/wn/synset?id=10140314-n (governor), http://wnpt.brlcloud.com/wn/synset?id=10303814-n (mayor) are both under http://wnpt.brlcloud.com/wn/synset?id=00007846-n (individual) and http://wnpt.brlcloud.com/wn/synset?id=00001930-n (physical_entity).

Does it make sense? Can we uniform that? Does anyone have already worked on that domain? If so, references?

Kind of related to it? Recent discussion in the mailing list by Christiane Fellbaum:

Roles: I have discussed extensively with professional philosophers who warned me that they thought covering Roles exhaustively would be an impossible task. It's easy enough for profession nouns (student, teacher) or relations (parents, niece) and some hand-picked cases like "pet," but difficult in many other cases. One could use a stiletto heel or a nail clipper as weapon, for example, though that is not as common as a knife-as-a-weapon. So we've stayed away from it for now. But maybe we can discuss some time in the future.
