Ed and Rich,    (01)

I changed the subject line to relate this long thread of questions
and debates to some useful resources.  The note below, which was
sent to Corpora list, is an announcement of resources that were
derived from WordNet, SUMO, and other sources in various formats.    (02)

They used UML to design the schemas, and they translated the
results to SQLUNET, "a unified database for English generated
from various NLP databases".  It's all on SourceForge.    (03)

What people find intuitive depends on their experience.  In any case,
resources such as those listed below show that translations from one
notation to another may facilitate sharing and interoperability.    (06)

Disclaimer:  I have not used this software.  I don't know how useful
it may be.  But I'm citing it as an example of what can be done.    (07)

Subject: [Corpora-List] New SQLUNet - SQL Unified XNets

SQLUNET - SQL Unified XNet    (010)

SQLUNET is a unified database for English generated from various NLP
databases (XNets).    (011)

It is unified, in that crossreferences are made possible: tables
reference each other through the foreign key mechanism.
It can be queried with standard SQL queries.
It was designed from UML down to schemas, table definitions and MySql
Workbench models.    (012)

It comes in 3 flavours:
- MySql
- Sqlite
- 'standard' SQL (may require some editing of table creation)
- query samples and design documentation are provided    (013)

The XNets that make up SQLUNET:
- WordNet 3.0, 3.1
- WordNet legacy senses, sensemaps, synsetmaps 2.0, 2.1, 3.0
- VerbNet 3.2
- Propbank 1.7
- SemLink 1.2.2c
- FrameNet 1.5
- British National Corpus statistical data 2001
- SUMO CVS
- XWordNet 2.0-1.1
- GlossLF 3.0
- ILFwn 0.2
- PredicateMatrix 1.1    (014)

The builder's sources are available.
A forthcoming open-sourced SQLUNET browser will be available on Android
(now nearing alpha phase) which, early previews show, is perfectly
viable, and not only as proof-of-concept.    (015)
