WordNet::Constants

This is a module containing constants used in the WordNet interface for Ruby. They are contained in a module to facilitate their easy inclusion in other namespaces. All constants in this module are also contained in the WordNet namespace itself.

E.g.,

  WordNet::Adjective == WordNet::Constants::Adjective

If you do:

  include WordNet::Constants

then:

  Adjective == WordNet::Adjective
