Connecting WordNet

[arademaker]

Many adj synsets don't have links for other synsets, only sense links. Ex https://en-word.net/lemma/isosmotic. I wonder if this is a problem or not.

This seems to be a very broad task, that I don't have a clear plan for dealing with. In total this affects 7,805 adjectives and 130 verbs.

Given the satellite model of adjectives I suspect that this could only be handled with the addition of new property types, hence I would aim for 2021 for any real fix of this issue.

The first question is that if it is an issue..

Renaming this task from 'synsets without links to other synsets'

I am going to use this open issue as a tracker for a number of issues with the goal of completely connecting all synsets in OEWN. The goal of this is not only to ensure that all synsets not only have at least one link but also have a path from every synset to every other synset in the wordnet.

There are a number of subactions that will move toward this:

• Verbs (Complete Verb Hierarchy #936)
• Adjectives (Reorganization of Adjectives #953)
• Adverbs (Connecting Adverbs #954)
• Better sense distinctions (How to confirm sense distinctions #243)
