Extract domain labels from the sense definition

[chmeyer]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 2

Hi I have two questions concerning querying through the API the knowledge domain and
the synonyms of entries 

Two questions please:

1- can I also get the domain of an entry using your api? For example, find out that
"Diabetes" is a word of the domain "Medizin".

When you enter "Diabetes" in Wiktionary, you will indeed see its "Bedeutung" prefixed
with the word "Medizin". Thats why I wonder if your api also covers this information.

2- I have the same question concerning the synonyms: is there a method like "entry.getSynonyms()"?
I could not find a method that returns the synonyms of an entry.

Thank you in advance.
Best

1) To date, the domain label is part of the sense definition text. There is some code
in the incubator that needs to be integrated into JWKTL which takes care about separating
out the domain labels from the sense definition. I'll change this issue to an enhancement
issue.

2) Synonyms can be accessed at the lexical entry level

entry.getRelations(RelationType.SYNONYM);

or at the word sense level:

entry.getSense(1).getRelations(RelationType.SYNONYM);

See documentation for details.

Hi, Chmeyer.

To get synonym at the word sense level, I tried your code:

for (IWiktionarySense sense : entry.getSenses()) { for (IWiktionaryRelation relation : sense.getRelations(RelationType.SYNONYM)) { print(relation.getTarget());

For dictionary word: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dictionary

It should return Synonyms: wordbook for first sense, but it returns null.

or for https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cat

for all sense, it returns null synonym except the eighth sense that it return all synonym!! for all sense.

What is the problem?

With Best Wishes,

Hello Siamak, there have been some changes to the way synonyms are formatted on Wiktionary. Therefore JWKTL needs to be updated to parse the new templates.

[siabar]

So, In next version it is possible? Correct? And if yes, When the next version will be available?

[jberkel]

I'll very likely work on this soon since I need to parse synonyms as well. Can't promise any exact dates though.

Thanks anyway :). Hopefully, you find a free time soon :)
