Hi,

I read the FAQ page on the relation between ConceptNet and WordNet and it seems that ConceptNet contains a lot of knowledge that is also included in WordNet. I would like to know if WordNet can be regarded as a subset of ConceptNet. The answer to this slightly strange question would be helpful because we would like to participate in a shared task where access to ConceptNet is allowed but Wordnet is not white-listed; our current implementation uses WordNet.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Best regards,

Matthias

I am not sure whether ConceptNet can be regarded as subset of wordnet but ConceptNet contains some (all?) relations extracted from wordnet. For instance:

/a/[/r/AtLocation/,/c/en/accelerator/n/wn/artifact/,/c/en/vehicle/n/wn/artifact/] /r/AtLocation /c/en/accelerator/n/wn/artifact /c/en/vehicle/n/wn/artifact {"dataset": "/d/wordnet/3.1", "license": "cc:by/4.0", "sources": [{"contributor": "/s/resource/wordnet/rdf/3.1"}], "surfaceEnd": "vehicle", "surfaceStart": "accelerator", "surfaceText": "[[accelerator]] is located in [[vehicle]]", "weight": 2.0}

The answer to this slightly strange question would be helpful because we would like to participate in a shared task where access to ConceptNet is allowed but Wordnet is not white-listed; our current implementation uses WordNet.
