Wandora's Extract > Language > Stands4 word describer is used to describe given word with associations and occurrences provided by external web service STANDS4 API. STANDS4 API provider, STANDS4 LLC is a leading provider of free online reference resources, serving millions of unique visitors worldwide with genuine content through its network of reference websites and content partners. Wandora's word describer requests a key for STANDS4 API. You can request your personal apikey here. Wandora doesn't store your apikey between use sessions.

Describing associations are synonym, antonyms, and part-of-speech. Describing occurrences are definition and example. Stands4 word describer can also expand acronyms. What is interesting in STANDS4 descriptions, is the use of concepts or term-complexes as they are called in Wandora extractions. The idea is that describing, say a term hello doesn't describe generated term topic hello with direct associations to it's synonyms such as hi or howdy but a concept of hello, hullo, hi, howdy, how-do-you-do (an expression of greeting), and this concept is then associated to all synonyms. As noted above, Wandora calls these concepts as term-complexes due to their naming.
