WordNet
People are really using the dictionary. Yesterday i had 2200 unique ip addresses, this means i have to include other popular and freely available dictionaries. One of the best ones out there is WordNet.

The word database looks like a lot of text and index files. I need to really understand the relationship before writing scripts to import it in to SQL server.

It’d be nice if you could use the Scrabble dictionary too! Great application… thanks for sharing.

I have Wordnet 1.7 as well as Wordnet 2.0 already setup as a SQL Server 2000 database with separate tables that define the relationships between the words and synsets. Feel free to ping me at jt_kane at comcast dot net, and we can talk about how to incorporate this database into your very good Dictionary application!
Thanks,
John Kane

Hey John,
your email bounces back.
Is there an another email to reach you. I would really like to have the database scripts/dump.

Gavi — Google tells me you should try jt-kane instead of jt_kane.
I hope more dictionaries do not mean more tabs. Can’t result from multiple dictionaries be shown one under the other, the way dictionary.com does?

Sorry, my mistake! It should be jt-kane at comcast dot net. Note, the dash/hyphen vs. an underscore!

I just discovered ObjectGraph. Splendid work! I’m fascinated by the speed of it all and will post it on my blog. Now, if someone could just make a Konfabulator widget out of this, it would totally blow my mind!
