  1. IS1305 “European Network of e-Lexikography (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) Working Group 2

  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 Working Group 2

  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 1—4 Working Group 2

  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? Working Group 2

  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 Working Group 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 Working Group 2

  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 Working Group 2

  9. Tasks of WG 2 — Task 5 • investigate the possible use of dictionary content for computational linguistic applications → task is already done, no further need => clear task list! time frame: year 4 Working Group 2

  10. Tasks of WG 2 — Task 6 • identify future funding sources and develop 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? • develop guidelines / best practices for writing funding applications? → responsibility of steering group! time frame: year 1—4 Working Group 2

  11. Tasks of WG 2 — Task 6 → task 6: responsibility of steering group! time frame: year 1—4 Working Group 2

  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)) Working Group 2

  13. Participants • 27 participants from 14 countries: Austria (1), Denmark (2), Finland (3), France (1), Germany (5), Hungary (1), Netherlands (2), Poland (2), Portugal (2), Romania (1), Serbia (2), Slovacia (1), Switzerland (3), United Kingdom (1) • see file “WG 2 Leiden 16-01-2014 minutes Annex1 participants.pdf” Working Group 2

  14. 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 Working Group 2

  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): Grammatisch-kritisches Wörterbuch der hochdeutschen Mundart. Mit beständiger Vergleichung der übrigen Mundarten, besonders aber der oberdeutschen. Wien: Richter. Online: http://ds.ub.uni-bielefeld.de/viewer/image/1323497/1/LOG_0003/.) Working Group 2

  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? Working Group 2

  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” Working Group 2

  18. Plans / ideas / work in progress • Schlaefer: • language(s) covered: monolingual, multilingual • vocabulary/lexicon described • user group addressed • methodological basis • lexikographical basis • Hausmann • synchronic vs diachronic dictionary • historical vs contemporary dictionary • standard language vs dialect dictionary • … Working Group 2

  19. Cooperation with other WGs • cooperation with WG 1 concerning • the encoding of dictionaries • the linking of information between dictionaries • user interfaces • the overview of dictionaries • cooperation with WG 3 in finding common approaches to linking contents of retro-digitised and innovative dictionaries • cooperation with WG 1, WG 3, WG 4 • in identifying funding sources and developing funding applications Working Group 2

  20. Decisions which have to be made / questions “Scientific” aim: • develop a “scheme of categories” describing the dictionaries(short standardized “profile”) → cooperation with WG 1, WG 3 and WG 4 → question: which information should be given about the dictionaries? • information about the dictionary itself (short and clear description!) • dictionary type • language covered (source language, description language, target language) Working Group 2

  21. Decisions which have to be made / questions (→1. information about the dictionary itself) • year of publication (print and online) • number of entries • references, literature concerning the dictionary • … • information about the technical process • encoding • XML schema and documentation • year of publication • … Working Group 2

  22. Decisions which have to be made / questions → questions: • which kinds of dictionaries to include / exclude? • propose parameters / properties for all dictionaries which can function as search parameters in the dictionary portal (“search for dictionaries”)? Working Group 2

  23. Decisions which have to be made / questions Organisation: • mailing list for each WG? → establish at INL? (Google Groups for each WG, all of them including members of steering group) • how to exchange information / results of WGs within WGs and amongst all participants → can we use the intranet as envisaged in the proposal? or Google Groups and Google Docs? (“suitable instruments”?) • do we need slots for inter-WG meetings at all WG meetings? • specialist workshops preceeding the WG meeting? Working Group 2

  24. Decisions which have to be made / questions Organisation: • STSMs: • “central” and open call? or call focused on certain topics fostering certain tasks in the action? • information concerning reimbursement to participants? • Training Schools: • how to organize? where? when? how long? • number of participants? experts? • budget? Working Group 2

  25. To ask from participants of WG 2 • short biographies concerning their background (like Anne did in WG 1, see minutes)? • collect them for ENeL website? secured or open part of website? • continue to divide tasks / build subgroups (especially for task 4) • invite them to think about topics relevant for any concern of WG 2 not yet fixed in working plan; Working Group 2

  26. To ask from participants of WG 2 • invite them to think about experts to be involved in the discussions of WG 2 (specialist workshops) • invite them to think about topic(s) to deal with at Bolzano→ fixed in Leiden: presentation of first results of task 3 (development of standards for the encoding of information and the description of relevant information categories for print dictionaries) at meeting in Bolzano • invite them once again to think about a 5-day meeting in the Lorentz Center in Leiden in 2016 Working Group 2

  27. To ask from participants of WG 2 • invite them to think about the Training School in 2015: “Standard tools and methods for retro-digitising dictionaries“ → date: year 2, semester 2 → Rute will check location with Vlado and Vera • give a description of “their” dictionary/ies according to our “dictionary scheme” (“deadline” depending on decision how this “dictionary profile” looks like) Working Group 2

  28. Tasks for Bolzano • define a list of dictionaries to begin with (e.g. bilingual synonym dictionaries) • define a list of dictionaries to be retro-digitized • define a list of metadata (ask all WGs for a list of dictionaries and a list of mark up) • proposal with dictionary typology including definitions of technical terms used (end of June); define Working Group 2
