That's a multilingual 'wordnet', where lemmata from each language have
been linked to the synset ids of wordnet 3.0 (and it includes _only_
those lemmata that have links). I don't know that it adds anything
useful, when compared to converting the originals to RDF, except
perhaps as a means of verifying links.
