Project Requirements

English Mode - The display mode where English is used for the underlying structure of the tree. There may be nodes for which no Cree word exists included, linking Cree nodes.

Cree Mode - The display mode where only Cree words will be displayed in the tree. Since the structure of the tree is still mapped onto English, these English nodes will be skipped over when displaying the tree.

RapidWords - A web-based tool for text summarization and keyword extraction. The website offers a user-friendly interface and allows users to upload documents or paste text directly into the website for summarization.

WordNet - A lexical database for the English language, developed by Princeton University. It organizes words into sets of synonyms and organizes them into semantic hierarchies, allowing for a better understanding of how words are related semantically. The website provides a user-friendly interface for accessing and exploring the WordNet database, allowing users to search for words and their definitions, synonyms, and related concepts.

Itwêwina - A web-based platform for learning Cree, an indigenous language of Canada. The platform offers interactive lessons and exercises to help users learn the basics of Cree, including vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. It also features a variety of resources, including audio recordings, to help users improve their listening and speaking skills in the language.

Hyponym - A word of more specific meaning than a general term applicable to it.

Hypernym - A word with a broad meaning that more specific words fall under

Breadcrumb - A small text path, indicating where the user is on the site

Tag - A multicharacter symbol that represents a linguistic feature.

Semantic Ontology - An ecosystem of words relating to each other based on their meaning.

Tree - A tree is a hierarchical data structure defined as a collection of nodes.

As a user, I want to be able to search for a word.
