Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

En-Wordnet is a node.js module which makes Princeton University's Wordnet available as a package.

About

WordNet® is a large lexical database of English. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related words and concepts can be navigated with the browser. WordNet is also freely and publicly available for download. WordNet's structure makes it a useful tool for computational linguistics and natural language processing.

Getting started

We use bun for this project.

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
bun install
bun test

Where did you find this?

The latest version of the Wordnet can be found at the website. There are links to both the 3.0 version and the 3.1 version. We are using the data and index files from the 3.1 DB version.

Is this credible?

WordNet is probably one of the most credible sources of lexical data in english on the internet right now. If you would like to try it out for yourself, please go here.

Are there things that are missing

Yes, there are other files which I have completely ignored so far. Standoff Files and Old Versions have been completely skipped. I will not be adding them till I can find a use case for it, if you have one, please share.

How do I actually use this data?

The Parser for wordnet DB files will be in a separate repository. I did this because there are other significant pieces of work which follow the specifications set up by Wordnet (like the Open MultiLingual Wordnet) and the parser would be able to utilize all of those to provide multi-lingual support.

How to I understand the data structures

The data structure is very clearly defined in these two documents

  • wndb, which talks about index._ and data._ files
  • wninput, which talks about the lexicographer file format and the word syntax

This is released under which license?

The complete license for Wordnet can be found on their website and on this repo
