Abstract
The computer implementation of the lexical database described in the preceding papers falls naturally into two parts. WordNet is the lexical database; LexPert is the suite of software tools used to build and access the database. In addition to the lexical information contained in the source files written by the lexicographers, WordNet also contains an index of the familiarity of each word. LexPert includes routines for verifying the syntax of lexical source files, for converting the source files into a database, for adding familiarity indices to the database, for searching the database, for dealing with inflectional morphology, and for displaying information for the user. The specifications for these reutines are described.
