WordNet is a large lexical database of English, developed under the
direction of George A. Miller. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs
are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing
a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic
and lexical relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related
words and concepts can be navigated with the browser. WordNet is
also freely and publicly available for download. WordNet's structure
makes it a useful tool for computational linguistics and natural
language processing.

LifeLines is a free and open source genealogy program to help with
your family history research. It has native versions for Unix-like,
Mac, and Windows operating systems.
The format of the data as presented to the user for viewing, data
entry, and updating follows the GEDCOM format.
The real power of LifeLines is its scripting ability. There are a
number of LifeLines reports (aka scripts) that generate all manner
of output -- ahnentafels, ancestor/descendent reports, formatted
ancestor reports, beautiful books of all ancestors, fan charts of
ancestors, vital records of all individuals in a format suitable
for importing to palm pilot databases (specifically DB which is
also hosted here on SourceForge). All the reports are included in
the kit.
Several reports can do error and sanity checking of data; such as
deaths before births, extreme May-December marriages, etc.
GRAMPS is the Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Program
System. In other words, it is a personal genealogy program letting you
store, edit, and research genealogical data using the powers of your
computer.
GRAMPS makes every effort to maintain compatibility with GEDCOM, the
general standard of recording genealogical information. We have import
and export filters that enable GRAMPS to read and write GEDCOM files.
