I plan on using Sentiwordnet 3.0 for Sentiment classification. Could someone clarify as to what the numbers associated with words in Sentiwordnet represent? For e.g. what does 5 in rank#5 mean? Also for POS what is the letter used to represent adverbs? Im assuming 'a' is adjectives. I could not find an explanation either on their site or on other sites.

I found the answer. Seems like the number notation comes form Wordnet. It represents the rank in which the given word is commonly used. So rank#5 refers to the context in which rank is used 5th most commonly. Similarly rank#1 refers to the meaning of rank most commonly used. The following are the POS notations:
n - NOUN
v - VERB
a - ADJECTIVE
s - ADJECTIVE SATELLITE
r - ADVERB
