Hi!
Hi! Thanks for your reply.
Yeah, for something like fifteen years, I guess… :-)
See e.g. OmegaWiki
(formerly known as WiktionaryZ).
OmegaWiki is, if not exactly, astoundingly near what I was proposing. It links words to
meanings and automatically derives translations from that, which is the main feature I was
looking for. It also supports linking words with one another with different relationships
like hypo- and hypernimic. I wonder why it isn't more popular.
The modern incarnation of machine-readable dictionary
is the
Lexicographical Data project on Wikidata. It is a nice project, definitely
go take a look at it, but it is not really an evolution/improvement of
Wiktionary but rather a fresh start. (Among other reasons because of the
license incompatibility of Wiktionary’s CC-BY-SA with Wikidata’s CC-0.) See
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Lexicographical_data
Thanks, this is interesting too, though this project doesn't seem to decouple meanings
from words, so automatic translations don't work with it (as far as I could see from
my short snoop-around.)
I'll stick to OmegaWiki and hopefully add my grain of salt to it. Thanks for bringing
that to the conversation!
Regards,
Wolter HV
