in my experiment, I am using WordNet18 data, which contains triplets of the form (subject, predicate, object), some examples are as follows:
03964744 _hyponym 04371774 00260881 _hypernym 00260622 02199712 _member_holonym 02188065
I would like to know what the entity IDs, like 03964744, stand for. Is there anybody knows how to decode the entities?
Thank you in advance.
The 8-digit numbers you see are probably the byte offset of the entry in the data files. See http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/man/wnintro.5WN.html
After quite a bit of hunting around, I think you are looking at the numbers of WordNet 3.0 (the byte offsets for a given synset differ between versions; 3.1 is the latest version).
Your first entry seems to be saying that swing is a type of toy:
