Interface IWiktionaryRelation

All Known Implementing Classes:

WiktionaryRelation

public interface IWiktionaryRelation

Represents a paradigmatic relation between lexical entries or word senses. A relations consists of a source and a target as well as additional information on this relationship, such as a type identifier (e.g., synonymy, hyponymy, antonymy). The source of the relation is always a IWiktionarySense. For relations that have not yet been attached to a certain word sense or that are not depending on a certain word sense (e.g., for derived terms that hold for an entire lexical entry), the unassigned sense (IWiktionaryEntry.getUnassignedSense()) is used. The target of a relation is given as a word form, sometimes including additional hints on the word sense, such as sense indices or grammatical information.
