We use the mason cloud model of the nucleon to calculate distribution funct
ions for ((d) over bar - (u) over bar) and (d) over bar/(u) over bar in the
proton. Including the effect of the omega meson cloud, with a coupling con
stant g(omega)(2)/4 pi approximate to 8, allows a reasonably good descripti
on of the data. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights rese
