| <h2>Lingucomponent Sub-Project: Thesaurus Development </h2> |
| |
| <p>The goal of this project is to improve existing thesauri for OpenOffice.org |
| and to create new thesauri for languages that don't have one yet.</p> |
| |
| <p>This project started by searching for and finding a synonym list for |
| English (US) that was compatible with the OpenOffice.org licensing and |
| then using that list and some simple software to develop a thesaurus for |
| OpenOffice.org 1.x. OpenOffice.org 2.x now uses a thesaurus automatically |
| built from the data in <a href="http://wordnet.princeton.edu">WordNet</a>. |
| The internal file format has also changed to a text-based one.</p> |
| |

| <h4>Downloads</h4> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="MyThes-1.zip">MyThes-1.zip (4,5MB)</a> - standalone version of the MyThes thesaurus code. |
| This includes a thesaurus for en_US in its new format for OOo 2.0 (but not yet the WordNet-based |
| thesaurus).</li> |
| <li><a href="http://www.danielnaber.de/wn2ooo">wn2ooo</a>, the script used to create the OOo |
| thesaurus from WordNet data.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h4>Creating a new thesaurus</h4> |
| |
| <p>If you are willing to maintain a website to collect and coordinate a community |
| developed synonym list for any language we need your help. Please send an e-mail to |
| dev@lingucomponent.openoffice.org listing your skills and interests in being |
| involved in this project. A web-based software for building a new thesaurus is |
| <a href="http://www.openthesaurus.de">OpenThesaurus</a>, which is already successfully |
| used to maintain the German, Polish, and other thesauri. All you need is some knowledge of |
| MySQL and a Java-enabled server space to run your own version of OpenThesaurus.</p> |
