WordNet: semicolon-separated parts of the gloss are split into multiple definitions #97

Closed judithek closed 9 years ago

judithek commented 9 years ago 
Checked the synset {car, auto, automobile, machine, motorcar} and found that its gloss
is split into two definitions:

        <Synset id="WN_Synset_15951">
            <Definition>
                <TextRepresentation languageIdentifier="eng" writtenText="a
motor vehicle with four wheels"/>
            </Definition>
            <Definition>
                <TextRepresentation languageIdentifier="eng" writtenText="usually
propelled by an internal combustion engine"/>
            </Definition>

IMHO, this is rather misleading since the WordNet definition is meant as a whole rather
than two (exchangeable definitions). What is the motivation of having this separated?
If we keep it in the current style, we should definitely document this behavior prominently
and inform everyone who is working with definitions (e.g., for WSD, WSA, etc.) since
my approach was - until today - do just consider the first UBY-WordNet definition...

Comments welcome.

no motivation

I did not implement it and did not inspect this part of the code yet

will modify it, agree that it makes no sense
