Method Detail

getRelation

char getRelation(java.util.Vector<java.lang.String> listSenseS,
                 java.util.Vector<java.lang.String> listSenseT)

Returns semantic relation holding between two sets of senses.

Parameters:

listSenseS - source set of senses

listSenseT - target set of senses

Returns:

a relation

getRelationACoL

char getRelationACoL(IAtomicConceptOfLabel source,
                     IAtomicConceptOfLabel target)

Retuns semantic relations which hols between two ACoLs.

Parameters:

source - source ACoL

target - targe ACoL

Returns:

a relation

isSourceMoreGeneralThanTarget

Checks whether the source is more general than target.

Parameters:

source - source synset id

target - target synset id

Returns:

whether relation holds

isSourceLessGeneralThanTarget

                              java.lang.String target)

Checks whether the source is a synonym of the target.

Parameters:

source - source synset id

target - target synset id

Returns:

whether relation holds

isSourceOppositeToTarget
