NAME

Lingua::JA::WordNet - Perl OO interface to Japanese WordNet database

SYNOPSIS

use Lingua::JA::WordNet;

my $wn = Lingua::JA::WordNet->new('wnjpn-1.1.db');
my @synsets = $wn->Synset('相撲', 'jpn');
my @hypes   = $wn->Rel($synsets[0], 'hype');
my @words   = $wn->Word($hypes[0], 'jpn');

print "$words[0]\n";
# -> レスリング

DESCRIPTION

Japanese WordNet is a semantic dictionary of Japanese. Lingua::JA::WordNet is yet another Perl module to look up entries in Japanese WordNet.

The original Perl module is WordNet::Multi. WordNet::Multi is awkward to use and not maintained. Because of this, I uploaded this module.

METHODS

new($db_path) or new(%config)

Creates a new Lingua::JA::WordNet instance.

my $wn = Lingua::JA::WordNet->new(
    data        => $db_path, # default is undef
    enable_utf8 => 1,        # default is 0 (see sqlite_unicode attribute of DBD::SQLite)
    verbose     => 0,        # default is 0 (all warnings are ignored)
);

The data must be Japanese WordNet and English WordNet in an SQLite3 database. (Please download it from http://nlpwww.nict.go.jp/wn-ja)
