RiTa: the generative language toolkit

Using RiWordNet with Processing

---

1. Download WordNet 3.1
2. Unzip the downloaded file and place it in a convenient place, e.g., /Users/<username>/Desktop/dict on Mac/Linux, or C:\\WN\\dict on Windows
3. Create a new Processing sketch as below, specifying the location of WordNet on your system:

import rita.*;

RiWordNet w = new RiWordNet("/Users/<username>/Desktop/example/dict");
String[] s = w.getAllSynsets("dog", "n");
println(s);

Using RiWordNet with Eclipse

---

1. Create a new Java project in Eclipse
2. Download rita.jar and add it to the build path for the project. In eclipse: 'Project' > 'Properties' > 'Java Build Path' > 'Libraries' > 'Add External JARs...'
3. Download and extract WordNet 3.1 to a convenient place on your system, e.g., /Users/<username>/Desktop/dict on Mac/Linux, or C:\\WN\\dict on Windows
4. Create and run a new class, WordNetExample.java, with the following code:

import rita.*;

public class WordNetExample {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

	RiWordNet w = new RiWordNet("/Users/<username>/Desktop/example/dict");
	String[] s = w.getAllSynsets("dog", "n");
	System.out.println(java.util.Arrays.asList(s));
  }
