Is there a way to link these definitions to WordNet synsets?

I see you said you started with WordNet, I was curious if there was a a mapping of Wordset to Wordnet ids?

No meanings for 5 words

alkaline earth
acetoacetic acid
calcium hydride
succinic acid
transurethral resection of the prostate

Total number of words is 108k

I appreciate the share and just want to note that the total number of words is 108140. Either you calculate differently (count the meanings?), or maybe not the full set has been shared?

Considering using as a base for Trilingual English Student dictionaries globally

Hello all, just letting you know that I am considering importing the data from this dictionary into a program called FLEx to then use as a basis for creating bilingual and trilingual dictionaries for students of English. I work with an organization that does a lot of minority language dictionaries, and so the idea would be to have the base dictionary in English with every word tagged for its potential use in a dictionary (e.g. full dictionary, student basic dictionary, chemistry dictionary, etc), then to pull a certain dictionary and add definitions and translations in both a national level language (e.g. if it were in Sudan, Arabic, if it were in Mexico, Spanish), then to use that bilingual dictionary as a basis for trilingual definitions from minority language (e.g. in Sudan, a language like Fur, in Mexico, a language like Nahuatl).

Wondering if anyone knows a really simple way to get the whole database exported to a single XML file with each element tagged with a backslash code (this would be a file importable into FLEx).

Thanks everyone.
