5 Conclusions
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We presented software implementing an API to GermaNet and a case study built with this API, a package to compute five semantic relatedness metrics. We revised the metrics and in some cases redesigned them for the German language and GermaNet, as the latter is different from WordNet in a number of respects. The set of software functions resulting from our work is implemented in a JAVA library and can be used to build NLP applications with GermaNet or integrate GermaNet based semantic relatedness metrics into NLP systems. Also, we provide a graphical user interface which allows to interactively experiment with the system and study the performance of different metrics.</Paragraph>
