WordNet 1.7

    This is primarily an update to Version 1.6 and does not include
    the Additional Connectivity described below. Stay tuned for
    details.

Additional Connectivity

    Recent funding from ARDA (Advanced Research and Development
    Activity) will enable us to greatly increase the connectivity in
    three areas: nominalizations, disambiguation of terms in glosses,
    and topical clustering. The nominalization work will link
    morphologically and semantically related noun/verb pairs. In
    disambiguating the terms in the synset glosses, links will be
    inserted that indicate the context-appropriate WordNet sense of
    each open-class term in the definitional gloss. A topical
    organization will cluster related word senses, such as those
    related to tennis: ball, racquet, court, volley, .... In WordNet
    1.6, these terms are scattered throughout the database, in
    unrelated synsets.
