Class PointerType

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
    public final class PointerType
extends Object
implements Serializable
    Instances of this class enumerate the possible WordNet pointer types, and are used to label PointerTypes. Each PointerType carries additional information: a human-readable label, an optional reflexive type that labels links pointing the opposite direction, an encoding of parts-of-speech that it applies to, and a short string that represents it in the dictionary files.
