Lexical Resources

The goals of this Working Group are:

to explore, assess and recommend standard tools and methods for the creation, application and dissemination of born-digital and retro-digitized lexical resources (dictionaries, lexicons, thesauri, word lists etc.) as well as other, similar kinds of structured data (gazetteers, almanacs, encyclopaedias etc.); and
to foster, develop and publicize digitally-enabled lexicographic research from a cross-disciplinary and transnational perspective.

The WG will focus on the application and explication of existing standards, both onomasiological (TMF, TBX and SKOS) and semasiological (LMF, TEI, and Ontolex); draw upon the expertise of various DARIAH partners who are active in this field; and collaborate with relevant external projects and associations, such as the European Network of e-Lexicography (ENeL) and CLARIN in order to ascertain the widest possible reach of the Working Group’s results.

At the same time, the WG will pursue a strong research-driven agenda on the diversity of European lexicographic heritage. In addition to investigating pan-European vocabularies and multiple dimensions of lexical borrowing, the working group will evaluate current practices and formulate guidelines on data enrichment and mutual linking of existing electronic dictionaries in view of their common European heritage.
