Hello, I am writing to get some feedback/suggestion on an IGE grant proposal 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_etym… 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!
