i thought some people might like this, dan brian has done some smart
(tpc-prizewinning?) stuff in the Lingua:: tree, and linguana (a kind of
hyperglossic lexicon like a denser and hopefully multilingual wordnet),
all XML, natch, could be a beautiful thing once it is made.

Subject: [Lexicon] updates

I have updated some of the docs http://linguana.net/docs/lexicon.dtd,
and the scripts at http://linguana.net/code/. The changes are minor, but
reflect some future directions.

I am pretty much writing the Linguana::* Perl modules at the same time I
am implementing them in the web interface, which is proving to both help
and hinder. I have personal biases again application-specific web
programs, and have tried to keep myself from reinventing AxKit in the
process. I expect these will be completed in an alpha form within a few
weeks.

I have also been experimenting with diffmk, an xml diff/merge tool in
Perl by Norman Walsh @ Sun. I am not anxious for any solution that
relies on expat, but this is quite a good implementation, and would
allow each change to simply get a logged diff in a file-per-synset basis.

And I do have at least one other treat to look forward to:
Linguana::Synset::Graph, which plots pointers relationships dynamically
using graphviz. I'm trying to decide if it could comprise a navigation
element in the web interface.
