This section of the WordNet Reference Manual  contains manual 
pages that describe the formats of the various files included in different 
WordNet 3.0 packages.  
All files are in ASCII.  Fields are generally 
separated by one space, unless otherwise noted, and each line is terminated 
with a newline character.  In the file format descriptions, terms in italics 
 refer to field names.  Characters or strings in boldface  represent an 
actual character or string as it appears in the file. Items enclosed in 
italicized square brackets ([  ] ) may not be present. Since several files 
contain fields that have the identical meaning, field names are consistently 
defined.  For example, several WordNet files contain one or more synset_offset 
 fields.  In each case, the definition of synset_offset  is identical.
