Hi all,

Last week Autrijus mentioned a project called WordNet to me:

	" WordNet is a database of word meanings and lexical
	 relationships.  It contains tens of thousands of words
	 and numerous semantic relationships for each.  For
	 example, it can tell you that a limousine is a type of
	 a car and that a car is a type of motor vehicle.  It
	 can also tell you that car and automobile have
	 essentially the same meaning."

Might be an idea to investigate for future integration with Pangloss?
