I was searching for some CL implementation or CL API to query WordNet
semantic database, until now all I could find:

* A Common Lisp interface to WordNet has been developed by Mark Nahabedian 
at the MIT AI Lab. This is not an interactive browser, however you can read 
about and download the interface.

The address 

 http://people.csail.mit.edu/naha/ftp/WordNet/WordNet.html

is not working.


* Another Lisp interface developed by Wheeler Ruml is also available 
for download. It has been tested in Allegro Common Lisp for HP-UX. 
The only condition on use of this code is that you notify the developer 
of any bugs you find or improvements you make. Note that you must download 
his utility package (available on the same web page) as well.

The address

 http://www2.parc.com/spl/members/ruml/code/index.html

is not working.

And finally:

 http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/mfkb/RKF/smedict/component-find.lisp

Which seems to be related to WN but part of another project.

So, I wonder maybe some of the c.l.l. knows about a fully functional
ASDF-installable CL package to do WordNet manipulation, querying, etc.

Any hope?

Wheeler Ruml's code is at

http://www2.parc.com/isl/members/ruml/code/

if that helps any.

I think it's pretty obvious that the worship of that false idol known
as the State has, in the 20th Century, had some very bad effects. The
historians I'm familiar with have settled on the number of dead as 177
million, although I've seen estimates of up to 200 million.

Mark Nahabedian's WordNet code is here

Whups!  Wrong attribution.

The code at the link was written by Dan Tecuci.  It is an adaptation
of Nahabedian's code to run on ACL and Solaris.

Sorry.

... and one should mention that the code depends on other files from the
same location (http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/mfkb/RKF/smedict-old/).
