ConceptNet 5.6.2

A semantic network of general knowledge

ConceptNet aims to give computers access to common-sense knowledge, the kind of information that ordinary people know but usually leave unstated.

This Python package contains a toolset for building the ConceptNet 5 knowledge graph, possibly with your own custom data, and it serves the HTML interface and JSON Web API for it.

You don’t need this package to simply access ConceptNet 5; see http://conceptnet.io for more information and a browsable Web interface with an API.

Further documentation is available on the [ConceptNet wiki][].

Licensing and attribution appear in LICENSE.txt and DATA-CREDITS.md.

## Installing and building ConceptNet

To be able to run all steps of the ConceptNet build process, you’ll need a Unix command line (Ubuntu 16.04 works great), Python 3.5 or later, 30 GB of RAM, and some other dependencies. See the [build process][] on our wiki for instructions.

You may not need to build ConceptNet yourself! Try the [Web API][] first.
