Paper Abstract:
|
This paper describes some implementation issues of the electronic learners dictionary ELDIT, focusing on the use of XML as uniform data representation language. The dictionary is part of a web-based, adaptive vocabulary acquisition system for the languages German and English and stores a rich set of highly interlinked pieces of information for each word, such as translations, definitions, collocations, sample sentences, derivations, etc. XML turned out to be a very powerful data modeling and representation language for such complex, semi-structured data sets as the ELDIT dictionary entries.
We argue that XML provides several advantages over other languages and systems, which are of particular importance during a prototyping phase. |
