Overview

About

Maintained by Kurt HornikFirst published 2007-08-2528 releasesCRAN page ↗

An interface to WordNet using the Jawbone Java API to WordNet. WordNet (https://wordnet.princeton.edu/) 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. Please note that WordNet(R) is a registered tradename. Princeton University makes WordNet available to research and commercial users free of charge provided the terms of their license (https://wordnet.princeton.edu/license-and-commercial-use) are followed, and proper reference is made to the project using an appropriate citation (https://wordnet.princeton.edu/citing-wordnet). The WordNet database files need to be made available separately, either via package 'wordnetDicts' from https://datacube.wu.ac.at, installing system packages where available, or direct download from https://wordnetcode.princeton.edu/3.0/WNdb-3.0.tar.gz.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("wordnet", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-wordnet

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-wordnet

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
