使用 Java API 存取 VerbNet 之前，要先安裝 VerbNet:

http://verbs.colorado.edu/verbnet_downloads/downloads.html

如下圖，先點選 "Research & Projects" 並且點 "Downloads"，下載 zip file 並且安裝。

之後，來到 MIT 所開發用來存取 VerbNet 的 Java API 網頁:

http://projects.csail.mit.edu/jverbnet/

下載 Binary Files Only 即可。

之後將這個下載的 jar import 到你的 project 中，使用下列的 demo code 就可以存取 VerbNet了。

// make a url pointing to the Verbnet data
String pathToVerbnet = "/ path /to/ your / verbnet / directory /";
URL url = new URL (" file ", null , pathToVerbnet );

// construct the index and open it
IVerbIndex index = new VerbIndex ( url );
index . open ();

// look up a verb class and print out some info
IVerbClass verb = index . getRootVerb ("hit -18.1 ");
IMember member = verb . getMembers (). get (0) ;
Set < IWordnetKey > keys = member . getWordnetTypes (). keySet ();
IFrame frame = verb . getFrames (). get (0) ;
FrameType type = frame . getPrimaryType ();
String example = frame . getExamples (). get (0) ;
System . out . println ("id: " + verb . getID ());
System . out . println (" first wordnet keys : " + keys );
System . out . println (" first frame type : " + type . getID ());
System . out . println (" first example : " + example );

結果:

id: hit -18.1
first wordnet keys : [ bang %2:35:00 , bang %2:35:01]
first frame type : NP V NP
first example : Paula hit the ball .
