104 | | Now, let's have a look at the first five menu entries. ''Show in'' allows you to display entry with the same ID in another !WordNet, |
105 | | for example see the entry linked to english synset in Czech !WordNet. When you select this entry, you'll see the list of dictionaries connected to the actual one. When you click on a dictionary name, linked entry is displayed in selected dictionary. |

| 105 | for example see the entry linked to an English synset in the Czech !WordNet. When you select this entry, you will see the list of dictionaries connected to the current one. When you click on a dictionary name, the linked synset is displayed in the selected dictionary. |
106 | 106 | |
107 | | ''Show in (by)'' is similar, but uses different elements to link between entries. For example, you can display SUMO entry for the SUMO information stored in synset. |
| 107 | ''Show in (by)'' is similar, but uses different elements to link between entries. For example, you can display SUMO entry for the SUMO information stored in synset (as SYNSET.SUMO). |
108 | 108 | |
109 | | ''!AutoLookUp in'' works similar to ''Show in''. When you click on dictionary name, the tick appears (or disappears) in front of the name. When you select another synset in actual dictionary, all the ticked dictionaries are automatically updated to show the entry with the same ID. |
110 | | For example: in English !WordNet you tick !AutoLookUp in Czech and Polish !Wordnets. Whenever you select synset in English WN (by clicking in result list, on a link in preview or on a synset in tree), czech and polish synset is automatically displayed. |
| 109 | ''!AutoLookUp in'' works similar to ''Show in'' and lasts for all future queries. When you click on a dictionary name, the tick appears (or disappears) in front of the name.

121 | | To create a new synset, choose the ''Edit'' tab and click the ''New'' button. You'll see red border around the form - this means that you are editing new entry, not existing one. |
122 | | In the form, you see several boxes with label and + button, for example ''Synonyms'' or ''Relations''. When you click on the + button, the box will open and you'll see the form fields. The + button changed to - button, which you can use to hide the box if you feel the form is too complex. |

124 | | For a new synset, you have to select at least ''Part of Speech'' and on ''synonym'' - click on ''Add'' button to add more synonyms. Don't forget to fill the literal and sense number for each synonym. |

Write the query (see [#Searchqueries queries]) to the first box, press ''Enter'' and select the synset from the list (this is important). Select relation type in second box. When adding hyponym/hypernym relations, add only the hypernym of the synset, hyponyms are generated automatically. |

148 | 148 | |
149 | | ''Take ID from'' changes the ILI of selected synset to the value of synset ILI in selected dictionary. You can use this function to link several dictionaries to the basic one. For example, create a new Czech synset, find the appropriate English equivalent and in Czech WN select ''Take ID from English Wordnet''. Synsets are connected with the same ILI and you can display them using [#Inter-WordNetfunctions-linkingtootherWordNets Show and Autolookup functions]. |
| 149 | ''Take ID from'' changes the ID (used as ILI) of the selected synset to the value of the synset ID in the selected dictionary. You can use this function to link several dictionaries to a central one. For example, create a new Czech synset, find the appropriate English equivalent and in the Czech WN select ''Take ID from English Wordnet''. Synsets are connected with the same ID/ILI and you can display them using [#Inter-WordNetfunctions-linkingtootherWordNets Show and Autolookup functions]. |

151 | 151 | === Locking synsets === |
152 | 152 | |
153 | | When you start editing synset, it's locked for you so nobody can make changes. Locks are indicated in synset result list - ''[x]'' in front of synset means that someone else has this synset locked, ''[*]'' means that you have this synset locked. Also, when you change to the ''Edit'' tab, you'll see the lock icon for synsets locked by some other user. |

155 | 155 | = Typical errors = |
156 | 156 | * Do not try to write a new synset on the first top line (box). To enter a new synset you have to open the ''Edit'' tab. |
157 | | * When entering a relation between two synsets or linking two synsets via ILI, always check whether they both exist. |
| 157 | * When entering a relation between two synsets or linking two synsets via ID/ILI, always check whether they both exist. |
158 | 158 | * Do not forget to click on the ''New'' button when entering a new synset and the ''Save'' button when you want to store it. If you do not click the ''Save'' button, nothing will be stored. |
159 | | * Avoid entering one synset twice or more times. |

162 | 162 | = Linguistic recommendations = |
163 | 163 | * Use a synonymical dictionary if it exists for a given language. |
164 | | * A good explanatory dictionary of a given language should be used for establishing hyperonym relations on the first level, e.g ''chair'' is a ''piece of furniture''. |
165 | | * To find reliable translation equivalents use parallel corpora. |

168 | 168 | = How to write a synset? = |
169 | 169 | * You decide what literals a synset will consist of and what part of speech it belongs to: noun (n), verb (v), adjective (a) or adverb (b) |
170 | | * When you open the ''Edit'' tab, click on ''New'', then type down a respective literal (one or more), assign it a symbol of PoS and click ''Save''. |
| 170 | * When you open the ''Edit'' tab, click on ''New'', then type down the respective literal (one or more, write both word and sense number), assign it a symbol of PoS and click ''Save''. |
171 | 171 | * If you do not click ''Save'', all what you wrote will be lost. |

173 | 173 | |
174 | 174 | = Numbering senses = |
175 | | * A new synset (in fact, any synset) has to be always numbered, i.e. you have to provide a sense number for it. |
176 | | * Sense number distinguishes the different senses of synset, e.g. ''bank:1'' - financial institution, ''bank:2'' as in "river bank". |
177 | | * It is usual as you can observe in Princeton !WordNet (v. 2.0 and higher) to assign lower numbers (1, 2, 3) to the basic senses. |
178 | | * It can be seen that senses in PWN 2.0 are quite often too fine grained - see e.g. verb ''to get'' with 36 senses. We recommend to translate only the senses that can be confirmed in a corpus. |
