Open German WordNet (Dart) #

Dart library and simple CLI app for Open German WordNet.

Uses deWordNet.xml from hdaSprachtechnologie/odenet in the WordNet XML schema.

The file is cached using xdg_directories thus only works on Linux.

void main() async {
  await updateCachedDeWordNet();
  final resource = await loadDeWordNetLexicalResource();
  print('Number of lexical entries: ${resource.lexicalEntries.length}');

  // Accessing lexical entries and synsets
  print('Lexical entries: ${resource.lexicalEntries.length}');
  print('Synsets: ${resource.synsets.length}');

  // Finding lexical entries by part of speech
  final nouns = resource.findLexicalEntries(PartOfSpeech.n);
  print('Number of nouns: ${nouns.length}');

  // Extract the lemma string (word)
  final firstLemma = resource.lexicalEntries.map(toLemmaWrittenForm).first;
}
