[WIP] ExWordNet

A pure Elixir interface to the WordNet lexical/semantic database.

ExWordNet doesn't require you to convert the original WordNet database into a new database format; instead it can work directly on the database that comes with WordNet.

ExWordNet is inspired by the Ruby project .

Note

ExWordNet comes bundled with the WordNet database which it uses by default. However, hex package manager has a maximum tarball size of 8MB, hence the database is xz-compressed. As such, ExWordNet requires xz and tar to be installed. During the first run, the database will be uncompressed automatically.

Installation

The package can be installed by adding exwordnet to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:exwordnet, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

The docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/exwordnet.

Requirement

1. Elixir 1.8
2. tar and xz
