           This dictionary was derived from the
         Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
                 Version published 1913
               by the  C. & G. Merriam Co.
                   Springfield, Mass.
                 Under the direction of
                Noah Porter, D.D., LL.D.

                        and from
           WordNet, a semantic network created by
              the Cognitive Science Department
                 of Princeton University
                  under the direction of
                   Prof. George Miller

             and is being updated and supplemented by
         an open coalition of volunteer collaborators from
                       around the world.

     This electronic dictionary is the starting point for an
ongoing project to develop a modern on-line comprehensive
encyclopedic dictionary, by the efforts of all individuals
willing to help build a large and freely available knowledge
base.  Contributions of data, time, and effort are requested
from any person willing to assist creation of a comprehensive
and organized knowledge base for free access on the internet. 
Anyone willing to assist in any way in constructing such a
knowledge base should contact:
