+      Open English WordNet is a lexical network of the English language grouping
+      words into synsets and linking them according to relationships such as
+      hypernymy, antonymy and meronymy. It is intended to be used in natural
+      language processing applications and provides deep lexical information
+      about the English language as a graph.
+
+      Open English WordNet is a fork of the Princeton Wordnet developed under an
+      open source methodology.
