It is important for us to have feedback on research involving WordNet Domains: we kindly ask you to provide us with information and comments about how WordNet Domains is used.

The distribution of WordNet Domains 3.2 includes WordNet Affect. WordNet Affect is an additional hierarchy of "affective domain labels", with which the synsets representing affective concepts are further annotated.

Publications or presentations containing research results obtained through the use of WordNet Affect should cite the following reference:

In Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2004), Lisbon, May 2004, pp. 1083-1086.

The distribution of WordNet Domains also includes the mapping between WordNet domains and WordNet topics, and the emergent Wikipedia categories. This mapping leads to a coarse alignment between WordNet and Wikipedia, useful for producing domain-specific and multilingual corpora. Multilinguality is achieved through the cross-language links between Wikipedia categories.

Publications or presentations containing research results obtained through the use of the mapping between WordNet Domains and Wikipedia categories should cite the following reference:
