Class Pointer

java.lang.Object

net.sf.extjwnl.data.Pointer

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class Pointer
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

A Pointer encodes a lexical or semantic relationship between WordNet entities. A lexical relationship holds between Words; a semantic relationship holds between Synsets. Relationships are directional: the two roles of a relationship are the source and target. Relationships are typed: the type of a relationship is a PointerType, and can be retrieved via getType.
