NAME

taglist - file listing location of all tagged senses within a semantic concordance

DESCRIPTION

A taglist file notes the location of semantic tags within the files of a single semantic concordance. Each line in the file corresponds to a sense in the WordNet database to which at least one semantic tag points. Only senses that are tagged in a concordance are in the concordance's taglist file. See semcor(7WN) for information about semantic concordances and a list of those included in this release.

A file, taglist, is provided with each semantic concordance. It is used by the escort(1WN) browser to locate sentences containing semantic tags that match the search criteria.

File Format

Each line in a taglist file contains information for one sense. The file is sorted alphabetically by sense_key. The fields are separated by one space, and each line is terminated with a newline character.

Each line in taglist is of the form:

sense_key sense_number location_list [location_list...]

where sense_key is a WordNet sense encoding and sense_number is a WordNet sense number as described in senseidx(5WN).

The remaining field(s) indicates the locations in the semantic concordance files of all uses of the sense.

Location List

Each location_list is of the form:

filename:sent_num,word_num[;sent_num,word_num...]

where filename is the name of the semantic concordance file, sent_num is the sentence number in the concordance file, and word_num is the word number in the sentence. Sentence numbers correspond to the <s snum=sent_num> attribute/value pair found in filename. Word numbers are sequentially assigned to the <wf ... > attribute/value pairs found in the sentence, beginning with 1. Note that <punc ... > attribute/value pairs are not counted when determining the value of word_num. See cxtfile(5WN) for a detailed description of the semantic concordance file format.
