Hello everybody,
The Wikitrace project aims at gathering a perinially acknowledged
community of lexicologists around a relational lexicological data bank
and related consultation services.
This project find its root in members of the TWUG willing to provide
services around Wiktionaries which can hardly be provided direcly by the
Wikitionary instances themselves, especially when it comes to cross data
relations within and between Wiktionary instances.
Concretely the roadmap so far include :
* create a Wikibase instance to host the data bank
* integrate Wiktionary dumps in the instance
* build querying external services for
* make the database queriable from Wiktionaris and Wikimedia projects
You are kindly invited to make all your feedbacks on the dedicated RFC
thread of the project talk page:

Hello all,
As previously announced, the next big piece of Lexicographical Data on Wikidata is now deployed: Senses.
Senses will allow you to describe, for each Lexeme, the different
meanings of the word. By using multilingual glosses, very short phrase
giving an idea of the meaning. In addition, each of these Senses can
have statements to indicate synonyms, antonyms, refers-to-concept and
more. By connecting Senses to other Senses and to Items, you will be
able to describe precisely the meaning of words with structured and
linked data. But the most important thing is that Senses will be able to
do is collect translations of words between languages.
Thanks to Senses, you will be able to organize and connect the
existing Lexemes better, and to provide a very important layer of
information. With Senses support, we now have all the basic technical
building blocks to allow structured machine-readable lexicographical
data, that can be reusable within and Wikimedia projects and by other
stakeholders.
Feel free to try editing Senses. You can use the sandbox to make some tests. Let us know if you have questions or find bugs.
Note: there are still issues with sorting the IDs of Senses,
Forms and sorting the glosses, that will be solved later this week.
Thanks for your understanding.
Cheers,
