public interface DictionaryElementFactory
extends Owned

Factory class for creating DictionaryElements (Synsets, Exceptions, and IndexWords). Using a factory class rather than individual parsing methods in each class facilitates using multiple versions of WordNet, or using a proprietary data format.
