Support the semantic distance between two word senses

[Callmoon]

Hello together,

Is it possible to support a semantic distance as a score between a search query and the shown words/synonyms?

Wordnet explains the functionality on their FAQ below "How can I calculate the semantic distance between two word senses?"

Germanet has something similar described below their tools page as Semantic Relatedness API

This feature would be great if you like to use OpenThesaurus as a Search Query Enricher and you need to weight the semantic distance scores for your result presentation.

That's an interesting idea. However, if you have a query, that's not a synset yet. It might match several synsets. You first need to have a synset to calculate the distance to another synset.

Anyway, there are currently no plans from my side to work on this feature.
