I don't really see that. What I see is a dictionary. There is not much
structure there. But I am guessing that if I open up the node labelled
"antisyphilitic" I will see a list of antisyphilitics, and so on.

Most of the information you need is not captured in those (assumed)
hierarchical relationships though, is it? For instance the deadly "three-way
pharmacodynamic drug-drug interaction" pictured in your first gif. How do you
find that in WordNet?
