NAME

       similarity_server.pl - [Web] The backend WordNet::Similarity server for
       the Web Interface


SYNOPSIS

       Usage: similarity_server.pl [--port PORTNUMBER] [--logfile LOGFILE]
       [--maxchild NUM] [--stoplist STOPFILE]
                                   | --help
                                   | --version


DESCRIPTION

       This script implements the backend of the web interface for
       WordNet::Similarity.

       This script listens to a port waiting for a request form similarity.cgi
       or wps.cgi.  The client script sends a message to this script as series
       of queries (see QUERY FORMAT).  After all the queries, the client sends
       a message containing only CRLF (carriage-return line-feed, or
       \015\012).

       The server (this script) responds with the results (see MESSAGE FORMAT)
       terminated by a message containing only CRLF.

   Example:
        Client:
        g car#n#1CRLF
        CRLF

        Sever responds:
        g car#n#1 4-wheeled motor vehicle; usually propelled by an internal
        combustion engine; "he needs a car to get to work"CRLF
        CRLF


OPTIONS

       --port=PORTNUMBER
           Specify the port PORTNUMBER for the server to listen on.

       --logfile=LOGFILE
           The output LOGFILE where any error or warning messages should be
           written out.

       --maxchild=NUM
           Specify the maximum number NUM of the processes that should be
       forked
           to handle the requests.

       --stoplist=STOPFILE
           A file STOPFILE of stop words to be provided to the lesk and vector
           modules.

       --help
           Display the help message and quit.

       --version
           Display the version information and quit.


QUERY FORMAT

       <CRLF> means carriage-return line-feed "\r\n" on Unix, "\n\r" on Macs,
       \015\012 everywhere and anywhere (i.e., don't use \n or \r, use
       \015\012).

       The queries consist of messages in the following formats:

        s <word1> <word2><CRLF> - server will return all senses of word1 and
        word2

        g <word><CRLF> - server will return the gloss for each synset to which
        word belongs

        r <wps1> <wps2> <measure> <etc...><CRLF> - server will return the
        relatedness of wps1 and wps2 using measure.

        v <CRLF> - get version information


MESSAGE FORMAT

       The messages sent from this server will be in the following formats:

        ! <msg><CRLF> - indicates an error or warning

        g <wps> <gloss><CRLF> - the gloss of wps

        r <wps1> <wps2> <score><CRFL> - the relatedness score of wps1 and wps2

        t <msg><CRLF> - the trace output for the previous relatedness score

        s <wps1> <wps2> ... <wpsN><CRLF> - a synset

        v <package> <version number><CRLF> - the version of 'package' being used
