3 years ago Yeah, the definition of hypernym includes "if X is a hypernym of Y, then all Y are X." See https://globalwordnet.github.io/gwadoc/#hypernym
I guess that the hypernym of 'goalkeeper' should then be changed to 'athlete' and 'player'

3 years ago Dear John,
This is also my understanding. In our wordnet (for Bulgarian) we included several sinsets for goalkeeper under 'athlete'.
With best regards,
Kiril

Dear All,
Here are some problems with the definitions of the players in different disciplines:
(n) goalkeeper, goalie, goaltender, netkeeper, netminder the soccer or hockey player assigned to protect the goal Hypernyms (2) (n) soccer player an athlete who plays soccer MORE ▶ (n) hockey player, ice-hockey player an athlete who plays hockey MORE ▶
Here the problem is the multiple inheritance if it is strict - goalkeeper in the two sports have different characteristics If it is not strict then it is ok.
Bur for:
(n) forward the person who plays the position of forward in certain games, such as basketball, soccer, or hockey Hypernyms (1) (n) basketball player, basketeer, cager an athlete who plays basketball MORE ▶
The definition mentions basketball, soccer, or hockey, but it is only a hyponym of basketball player.
With best regards,
Kiril
