I've browsed wikipedia, sf.net and google for code & papers on what is
commonly known as NLP.

I haven't found thesaurus software for native php/mysql, wordnet which
is apparently the leader, provides os-native apps, and "db files"
without db structure and not in any sql format (looks like cvs without
the commas but i'm not sure yet).
When i asked princeton staff about sql releases they simply replied
"we dont do sql here". Which i find a bit strange..
Easiest thing for me to do is write a conversion script that puts
their "db files" in mysql, and work from there.

My search on sf.net turned up empty too, all of the projects with
relevant descriptions have just the name regged, no code releases.

From reading http://www.go4expert.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35,
"Introduction to Natural Language Processing(NLP)", i gather that NLP
as it is results in much ambiguity on several levels of it's
operation.

It's an interesting problem though, and probably a profitable one, so
i'm going to spend some time trying to come up with something better
from scratch.

Thanks for the links..

But i think i'll keep at it on my own. I may be interested to set up a
competitor to the companies of which you gave links.
I've built a nice datamodel today, which i think will return even
better results than zemanta.

But what do you mean by "linked data", Nathan?
