I'm interested in getting in touch with folks using NeXT workstations for
Natural Language Processing, particularly in connection with Digital
Webster.
I'm considering getting a NeXT for my graduate work in connectionist NLP, the
dictionary being the biggest attraction, but would like some expert feedback
first.
How flexible is retrieval from Webster? Are individual senses/fields
retrievable? I have heard that there are direct links to the thesaurus, is
this so? Is there any explicit dicussion in the software liscence regarding
use on a network (i.e. with non-NeXT machines), use of extracted information,
use of extracted non-explicit (relation-oriented) information, etc., etc...???
Send email and I will post a summary of significant replies.
Thanks,
