Open Dutch WordNet is a Dutch lexical semantic database.

It was created by removing the proprietary content from Cornetto (http://www2.let.vu.nl/oz/cltl/cornetto) , and by using open source resources to replace this proprietary content.

Open Dutch Wordnet contains 117914 synsets, of which the majority are
nouns synsets: 98049. There are 18782 verb synsets and 1083 adjectival synsets.
51588 synsets contain at least one Dutch synonym, which leaves 66326 synsets
still to obtain a synonym. The resource contains 92295 synonyms. The average
polysemy is 1.5.
