How to get noun categories list using JWNL

63 views Asked by At

How to get list of nouns according to categories i.e noun.animal (list),noun.plant(list) using JWNL. Example code would be helpful.

Update

I have attached sample code which I think gives me list of noun from noun.animal Lexicographer File.

But nouns are not properly filtered out for proper animal name list. e.g cat,dog,monkey. Instead it gives me following list

0 Animalia

1 recombinant

2 conspecific

3 carrier

.

.

code:

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Iterator;
import net.didion.jwnl.JWNL;
import net.didion.jwnl.JWNLException;
import net.didion.jwnl.data.POS;
import net.didion.jwnl.data.Synset;
import net.didion.jwnl.dictionary.Dictionary;

public class AnimalNounListTEST { 

    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException, JWNLException {
        JWNL.initialize(new FileInputStream("config/properties.xml")); 
        final Dictionary dictionary = Dictionary.getInstance();
        Iterator<Synset> nounsList = dictionary.getSynsetIterator(POS.NOUN);
        int i=0;
        while (nounsList.hasNext()) 
        {           
                Synset synset = nounsList.next() ;
                 if(synset.getLexFileName().equals("noun.animal")){
                        System.out.println(i+" "+synset.getWord(0).getLemma() +  " "); 
                        i++;
                 }
        }

    }

}

I am using jwnl-1.4_rc3.jar library for interacting with wordnet dictionary.
