 Wandora's '''Extract > Language > Stands4 word describer''' is used to describe given word with associations and occurrences provided by external web service [http://www.abbreviations.com/ 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 [http://www.abbreviations.com/api.asp here]. Wandora doesn't store apikeys 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. This concept and term linkage is little different compared to a Wordnet, for example, which contains only terms, and terms are interlinked without a concept topic in-between.

Term may have multiple different meanings in different contexts, and attaching definition directly to the term would cause difficulties in distinguishing these different meanings.
