Fields are generally separated by one space, unless otherwise noted, and each line is terminated with a newline character. In the file format descriptions, terms in <I>italics </I> refer to field names. Characters or strings in <B>boldface </B> represent an actual character or string as it appears in the file. Items enclosed in italicized square brackets (<I>[ ] </I>) may not be present. Since several files contain fields that have the identical meaning, field names are consistently defined. For example, several WordNet files contain one or more <I>synset_offset </I> fields. In each case, the definition of <I>synset_offset </I> is identical. <H2><A NAME="sect4" HREF="#toc4">SEE ALSO </A></H2> <B><A HREF="wnintro.1WN.html">wnintro</B>(1WN)</A> , <B><A HREF="wnintro.3WN.html">wnintro</B>(3WN)</A> , <B><A HREF="cntlist.5WN.html">cntlist</B>(5WN)</A> , <B><A HREF="lexnames.5WN.html">lexnames</B>(5WN)</A> , <B><A HREF="prologdb.5WN.html">prologdb</B>(5WN)</A> , <B><A HREF="senseidx.5WN.html">senseidx</B>(5WN)</A> , <B><A HREF="sensemap.5WN.html">sensemap</B>(5WN)</A> , <B><A HREF="wndb.5WN.html">wndb</B>(5WN)</A> , <B><A HREF="wninput.5WN.html">wninput</B>(5WN)</A> , <B><A HREF="wnintro.7WN.html">wnintro</B>(7WN)</A> , <B><A HREF="wngloss.7WN.html">wngloss</B>(7WN)</A> . <P> Fellbaum, C.
