Hi,

CogNet uses data from the Japanese wordnet (and many others). For example, the fact that ポリプロピレン links to 14996158-n comes from there: https://compling.upol.cz/ntumc/cgi-bin/wn-gridx.cgi?gridmode=wnja

The Japanese wordnet requires that any copies include its license: https://bond-lab.github.io/wnja/license.txt

Further, this license, and the license for wiktionary (CC BY-SA) are incompatible with CC BY-NC-SA.

Can you properly acknowledge the data you are using and make sure the licensing is legal?

Hi Francis,

Thank you for pointing out these issues. We will make sure to include the necessary attributions and will also look into the licence incompatibility issue as soon as we can.

Thanks.

We had to work hard to get this right for OMW, so I appreciate that it is not trivial. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

I have been looking at UniMet recently, and found it very interesting, which is why I was looking at CogNet.
