DESCRIPTION
       This  section of the WordNet Reference Manual contains manual pages that describe the for‐
       mats 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 descrip‐
       tions, 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 italicized
       square brackets ([  ]) may not be present.  Since several files contain fields  that  have
       the identical meaning, field names are consistently defined.  For example, several WordNet
       files contain one  or  more  synset_offset  fields.   In  each  case,  the  definition  of
       synset_offset is identical.
