Looking for word parsing web site that tells if a word is a Noun, Verb, etc

Is there a web site I can call that will allow me to send it a word and it will tell me if that word is a Noun, Verb, etc. ?

I'm hoping to find that kind of site that maybe would return xml that I can use to parse out the returned results.

Thanks.

I found exactly what I was looking for at dictionary.com because they have an API that returns XML code.

Here's the link: http://developer.dictionary.com

Hopefully this will help other people out there looking to do the same as I.

There's no need for a web service. If your target language is English, then use WordNet. It has bindings for many popular programming languages.

Note that many words are ambiguous wrt. their category; finding the right one in context is a problem known as part-of-speech (POS) tagging and is usually done using machine-learned algorithms. Various free POS taggers are available, including the Stanford one.

(If you desperately want a web service and XML, you can hack that onto WordNet :)
