i've been thinking about extending the 'related items' plugin to include a thesaurus lookup for the tags (so that the related list would be larger and still include relevant items).
i found an api service that can do this - however it runs one word at a time and so each page load may be very slow when the tag list of the current elgg item is more than 1 tag.
i thought about using open office's thesaurus on the server and found that there is an api for doing that..
i haven't tested it at all.. i am wondering if anyone here has done anything like this before and maybe has some tips/weblinks?
thanks

You must log in to post replies.ah, wordnet looks usable:

oh... the php interface for wordnet is incompatible with GD.. and is quite old (the coder is unreachable via email).
so while wordnet looks pretty useful in that it can be installed as a mysql database - i will look elsewhere for now.
open office is another option - though i think i would need to use python to connect to it.
