Release 2015-02-18:

• Internal relations lists uniq'ed in synsets
• XML now contains inverted relations as well
• no LF characters in XML file
• fixed synset ENG20-00981788-v: nl_emphasize:4 -> nl_emphasise:1

Release 2014-08-14:

• Added mapping to Princeton WordNet 3.0 ILI synsets (see new ID3 and ELR3 tags). PWN2.0-PWN3.0 synset mapping by Tufis et al., 2011 was used For each HuWN synset with an "ENG20-XXXXXXXX-Y" ID, an ID3 element was added with the PWN30 mapped id of the PWN20 id. For each HuWN synset that that contained one or more ELR tags, an ELR3 tag was added for each with the mapped PWN30 id with the same TYPE under ELR3 as in ELR. The file PWN20-30_unmapped_ids.txt contains the list of HuWN ids (based on PWN20) that could not be mapped to PWN30 ids (ids that were not included in the mapping).
• Character encoding is now UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-2.
• The DTD was updated to reflect changes.
• This release is based on the previous release dated 2009-09-05, which is a revised version of HuWN produced in the Hungarian WordNet Project completed in 2005-2007, funded by grant GVOP 3.1.1-2004-05-0191/3.0 and executed by a consortium of:
  • Research Institute for Linguistics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (RIL-MTA)
  • University of Szeged
  • MorphoLogic Ltd.

Summary

HuWN contains 42288 synsets:

The database conforms to the Balkanet / Global Wordnet XML file format (with some additions). Each HuWN synset is mapped to 1 or more English (Princeton) WordNet synsets serving as Inter Lingual Index (ILI) records. Most HuWN sysnets are also mapped to an entry in the Magyar Ertelmezo Keziszotar (EKSz) Hungarian monolingual explanatory dictionary, and most HuWN verbs synsets are also mapped to a verb frame description entry in the MetaMorpho grammar.
