I've browsed wikipedia, sf.net and google for code & papers on what is commonly known as NLP. I haven't found thesaurus software for native php/mysql, wordnet which is apparently the leader, provides os-native apps, and "db files" without db structure and not in any sql format (looks like cvs without the commas but i'm not sure yet). When i asked princeton staff about sql releases they simply replied "we dont do sql here". Which i find a bit strange.. Easiest thing for me to do is write a conversion script that puts their "db files" in mysql, and work from there. My search on sf.net turned up empty too, all of the projects with relevant descriptions have just the name regged, no code releases. >From reading http://www.go4expert.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35, "Introduction to Natural Language Processing(NLP)", i gather that NLP as it is results in much ambiguity on several levels of it's operation. It's an interesting problem though, and probably a profitable one, so i'm going to spend some time trying to come up with something better from scratch.
