(ENel)
2
Objectives of WG 2

• (according to the application)
• set up guidelines and standards for turning paper
  dictionaries into a digital format
• development of common standards in the field of
  e-lexikography for retro-digitised paper
  dictionaries already online or planning to go
  online (objective 3 of the action)

3
Tasks of WG 2 Task 1

• establish an overview of existing retro-digitised
  dictionaries and an overview of dictionaries
  which should be retro-digitised (necessity to be
  digitised ? ranking? ? no, not necessary!)
• ? necessary to give this overview scheme of
  categories describing the dictionaries (to
  develop in close exchange with WG 1, WG 2, WG 3)
• result database to browse (? to coordinate with
  WG 1)
• ? question different categories as search
  parameters?
• time frame year 1

4
Tasks of WG 2 Task 2

• develop a standard workflow for digitisation of
  dictionaries planning to go online including
  parameters necessary for estimating costs
• digitisation (fulltext, images, OCR)
• encoding of retro-digitised dictionaries
• development of GUI
• standards of presentation and design
• long term preservation
• result guidelines (have to be written in such a
  way that policy makers understand them)
• time frame year 14

5
Tasks of WG 2 Task 3

• define standards for the encoding of information
  and the description of relevant information
  categories for paper dictionaries
• ? main objective guarantee interoperability,
  platform interdependence
• ? task collect standards used within the action
  (TEI, LFM, ISO ? give this question to MC)
• ? questions
• what markup languages to use?
• do we need a minimal set of standards for both
  retro-digitised and new, born digital
  dictionaries?

6
Tasks of WG 2 Task 3

• 3.1 part of task 3 establish an overview of
  software for the conversion of physical lay-out
  information to logical information
• ? question how to mark-up the dictionaries (i.e.
  automatically, semi-automatically are there
  mark-up tools to be re-used)?
• result best practices for the encoding of
  information, linked with dictionary database
• time frame year 1 and 2

7
Tasks of WG 2 Task 4

• a) investigate relevant information categories to
  be added to the dictionary in order to make the
  dictionary content more readily accessible and
  interoperable
• b) develop concepts for linking retro-digitised
  dictionaries
• ? questions
• which information do we need to interlink
  dictionaries (extra-information?)? ? describe the
  strategies

8
Tasks of WG 2 Task 4

• ? questions
• integration of additional information to create
  up new information (e.g. WordNet, wiki
  dictionary, FrameNet)?
• ? question to address to the WGs do you put
  additional information in your dictionary
• result best practices
• time frame year 3

9
Tasks of WG 2 Task 5

  content for computational linguistic applications
• ? task is already done, no further need gt clear
  task list!
• time frame year 4

10
Tasks of WG 2 Task 6

  collaborative funding applications considering
  the dictionary-candidates to retro-digitise and
  the working plan for digitisation
• ? information to have on an European level
• ? develop awareness in governments of Europe!
• ? questions
• national and international funds to go for
  financial support?

  funding applications?
• ? responsibility of steering group!
• time frame year 14

11
Tasks of WG 2 Task 6

• ? task 6 responsibility of steering group!
• time frame year 14

12
Tasks of WG 2

• in Leiden we tried to divide tasks, to find
  responsible(s) for the tasks, to form subgroups
• ? not yet finished, especially for task 4 and 5
• (task 5 already done, no need to find
  responsible(s))

13
Participants

Dictionaries in WG 2

• see list in file WG 2 Leiden 16-01-2014 minutes
  Annex2 dictionaries.pdf
• not yet complete
• for now 25 dictionaries of different types
• most of them monolingual
• 10 (?) languages
• most of them diachronic / historical
  dictionaries, standard language dictionaries,
  some dialect dictionaries

15
Plans / ideas / work in progress

• bibliography of retro-digitised dictionaries
  online available (student using Citavi for
  organizing the bibliography)
• ? structure of the bibliography language
  dictionaries, specific dictionaries (e. g. A
  dictionary of food and nutrition)
• ? structure of entries author, year of
  publication, title, place of publication,
  publisher, url
• (Adelung, Johann Christoph (1808)

  hochdeutschen Mundart. Mit beständiger
  Vergleichung der übrigen Mundarten, besonders
  aber der oberdeutschen. Wien Richter. Online

16
Plans / ideas / work in progress

• ? work in progress (for now 22 pages in Word
  file)
• ? questions
• re-use in the Action?
• which information should be given in this
  bibliography of retro-digitised dictionaries
  (close connection to the scheme of categories
  describing the dictionaries?)
• bibliography as basis for the database of
  retro-digitised dictionaries and part of the
  dictionary portal?

17
Plans / ideas / work in progress

• collection of dictionary typologies trying to
  find a scheme of categories describing the
  dictionaries in the Action
• problem so far only consideration of German
  typologies
• Storrer classification of internet dictionaries
• retro-digitised dictionaries
• digital born dictionaries
• dictionaries with user participation
• user generated dictionaries
• finished dictionaries
• dictionaries under construction

18
Plans / ideas / work in progress

• Schlaefer

• vocabulary/lexicon described
• user group addressed
• methodological basis
• lexikographical basis
• Hausmann
• synchronic vs diachronic dictionary
• historical vs contemporary dictionary
• standard language vs dialect dictionary

19
Cooperation with other WGs
