Lexical adaptation of WordNet 1.7

When I initialized the KB of WebKB-2 with the part of WordNet 1.7 related to nouns I have made 362 lexical corrections: 29 modifications of category annotations ("synset gloss" in WordNet terminology), 262 category names added (added "synonyms" in WordNet terminology), 77 manual re-orderings of category names (the automatic re-orderings operated by our algorithm for generating readable unique identifiers are not listed).

For each listed category, the EBNF grammar of the format is the following:
"#wn" WN_ID "|" KEY_NAME ("__" OTHER_NAME)* "(^$(" MY_ANNOTATION ")$ " WN_GLOSS "^)"
with WN_ID being the category identifier used in WordNet, i.e. its offset in the file data.noun,
and KEY_NAME the name used as (unique) key in WebKB-2 for the category.
