Thanks Robert. When I had the idea of writing etytree I did some literature research and I saw this work. I thought I could integrate a d3.js visualization with this etymology extraction tool.

Unfortunately though, the software behind the Etymological WordNet developed at Stanford is not available - I contacted the author, he also said he is anyways planning on rewriting and improving the code.

Both the author of that work and people involved in the WordNet project were enthusiastic about the etytree idea and were supportive.

Best,

Ester
