DESCRIPTION
       This section of the WordNet Reference Manual contains manual pages that
       describe the formats of the various files included in different WordNet
       3.0 packages.

NOMENCLATURE
       All files are in ASCII.  Fields are generally separated by  one  space,
       unless  otherwise  noted,  and  each  line is terminated with a newline
       character.  In the file format descriptions, terms in italics refer  to
       field  names.   Characters  or  strings in boldface represent an actual
       character or string as it appears in the file.  Items enclosed in ital-
       icized  square brackets ([  ]) may not be present.  Since several files
       contain fields that have the identical meaning, field names are consis-
       tently defined.  For example, several WordNet files contain one or more
       synset_offset fields.  In each case, the definition of synset_offset is
       identical.
