  1. D-square Digital Databases and Tools for Dutch Regional Dictionaries Folkert de Vriend - Methods XII, Moncton, Canada, 2005 -

  2. Topics • Introduction dictionaries • Overview of project phases • Conversion • End user access

  3. Macrostructure WBD & WLD • Agricultural terminology • Other technical or craft terminologies • Common vocabulary

  4. Microstructure WBD & WLD Linguistic information in entries: • Phonetic (vol. I&II) or lexical (vol. III) variant • Heteronym (functions as headword) • Lexical meaning (word, or description of a concept) Non-linguistic information in entries: • Place name

  5. Example of WBD entry, volume 3

  6. Overview phases D-square • Conversion to a new format • End user access to data • Enrichment of data • Data management

  7. Phase 1: Conversion to a new format

  8. Raw data FileM Pro Edited data XML Raw data Questionnaires Nijmegen and Leuven Questionnaires (chiefly) Meertens (parts of) Vol. I+II MS-Word Vol. III FileM Pro Enriched data XML (parts of) Vol. I+II MacWrite Deel III MS-Word Vol. III Filing cards Online DB WBD (Polderland) Edited data Vol. I + II Vol. III Website WBD/WLD with tools for searching and cartography Specialized print editions (dialect atlas or local dictionary) SGV on CD (Polderland)

  9. Reasoning behind new encoding • XML, not relational database • Tailored to WBD and WLD • Flexible enough to be used for other dialect dictionaries • Standards: ISO TC 37/SC 4 DCR and LMF. (DCR = flat concept registries)

  10. The maybug again…

  11. Data for “maybug” from database

  12. Example XML-encoding <LEXICON> <ENTRY> <CONCEPT ontol_ID="492"> <WORD lang=“Dutch”>Meikever</WORD> <ILLUSTRATION uri="meikever.jpg"/> <DESCRIPTION></DESCRIPTION> </CONCEPT> <VARIANTS> <VARIANT type="heteronym">Bakkertje <VARIANT type="lexical">Bakkerke <VARIANT type="raw" import="diplomatic" source1="N83"> bakkərkə <LOCATION>K178</LOCATION> </VARIANT> </VARIANT> </VARIANTS> </ENTRY> … </LEXICON>

  13. Example from WALD

  14. XML-encoding for WALD <LEXICON> <ENTRY> <CONCEPT ontol_ID="492"> <WORD lang=“Achterhoeks”>Hals</WORD> <DESCRIPTION></DESCRIPTION> </CONCEPT> <VARIANTS> <VARIANT type="heteronym">Hals <LOCATION>Gor</LOCATION> <LOCATION>Harf</LOCATION> <LOCATION>Alf</LOCATION> <LOCATION>Eef</LOCATION> <LOCATION>...</LOCATION> </VARIANT> <VARIANT type="heteronym">Kael <LOCATION>Gor</LOCATION> <LOCATION>Eef</LOCATION> <LOCATION>Wich</LOCATION> <LOCATION>Gen</LOCATION> <LOCATION>...</LOCATION> </VARIANT> </VARIANTS> </ENTRY> </LEXICON>

  15. Example from WZD

  16. XML-encoding for WZD <LEXICON> <ENTRY> <CONCEPT ontol_ID="292"> <WORD lang=“Dutch”>de haard</WORD> <DESCRIPTION></DESCRIPTION> </CONCEPT> <VARIANTS> <VARIANT type="raw">'aerd (d'n) <LOCATION>Z.eil</LOCATION> <LOCATION>Z.V.W.</LOCATION> <LOCATION>L.v.Ax</LOCATION> <LOCATION>Hlt</LOCATION> <LOCATION>...</LOCATION> </VARIANT> <VARIANT type="raw">êêrd <LOCATION>Z.V.W.</LOCATION> </VARIANT> </VARIANTS> </ENTRY> </LEXICON>

  17. Phase 2: end user access

  18. The trouble with linking • At the conceptual level

  19. Existing ontology can be used

  20. The trouble with linking • At the conceptual level • At the level of the variants

  21. The maybug again (WVD)…

  22. …and again (WBD)
