Hello,
I am writing to get some feedback/suggestion on an IGE grant proposal https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/A_graphical_and_interactive_etymology_dictionary_based_on_Wiktionary I submitted to Wikimedia that might be of interest to the research community.
I am working on an interactive visualization tool for etymological relationships and I produced a demo of my interactive visualization *etytree*:
http://www.epantaleo.com/2015/12/01/etymology-tree/
The aim of the application is to visualize - in one graph - the etymology of all words deriving from the same ancestor. Users can expand/collapse the tree to visualize what they are interested in. The textual part attached to the graph can be easily translated in any language and the app would become a multilingual resource. My idea is to use dbnary's extraction-framework (for Wiktionary) and develop a (possibly) smart pre-processing strategy to translate Wiktionary textual etymology into a graph database of etymological relationships.
The database of etymological relationships will be available for the community and can be used as a resource to study the history of languages, how pronunciation evolved through time, and eventually how semantics evolved through time.
The link to the grant proposal is https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/A_graphical_and_interactive_etymo...
Feedback from the community is important to receive a grant from the Wikimedia foundation so please leave a feedback there if you are interested in the project.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks Robert. When I had the idea of writing etytree I did some literature research and I saw this work. I thought I could integrate a d3.js visualization with this etymology extraction tool.
Unfortunately though, the software behind the Etymological WordNet developed at Stanford is not available - I contacted the author, he also said he is anyways planning on rewriting and improving the code.
Both the author of that work and people involved in the WordNet project were enthusiastic about the etytree idea and were supportive.
Best, Ester

Hello, folks.
I would like to share with you an article that I have published in portuguese (http://www.rle.ucpel.tche.br/index.php/rle/article/view/1153) using Jurgen Habermas theories and Wikipedia. If anyone knows some international journals which might be interested to publish it, I can ask for translation into english.
Regards,
