Abstract:
Contemporary practical lexicography uses a wide range of advanced technological aids, most prominently database systems for the administration of dictionary content. Since XML has become a de facto standard for the coding of lexicographic articles, integrated markup functionality – such as query, update, or transformation of instances – is of particular importance. Even the multi-channel distribution of dictionary data benefits from powerful XML database services. Exemplified by E-VALBU, the most comprehensive electronic dictionary on German verb valency, we outline an integrated approach for advanced XML storing and processing within an object-relational database, and for a public retrieval frontend using Web Services and AJAX technology.
