Lexical ontologies have proven a very useful tool for natural language processing, specially where some semantic analysis is necessary. One of the most widely used is WordNet Miller, 1995. In this work, we describe an implementation of WordNet that extends its initial functionalities, and which is directly accessible from APL2. The interface is very simple, as only a few functions and one operator are sufficient to use all the capabilities of WordNet.
