Looking for XML and dictionaries I found a free dictionary with said
amount of words. It is based on the "Webster's Revised Unabridged
Dictionary Version published 1913" and on WordNet, a semantic network
created by the Cognitive Science Department of Princeton University"
..This electronic dictionary is published under the GPL. It is using
"GCIDE_XML".
There are also standards for this kind of content; ISO 12620, a JAVA
application from IBM "Dictionary and Thesaurus API for Java", an article
how the OED Oxford English Dictionary uses SGML for its electronic
content [

I am still only scratching the surface...
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Europe/reports/thes/
Semantic web..
The list goes on. What I am now looking for is an aricle that explains
in simple terms what the relations between all these systems are and
what they are good for.
Thanks,
Gerard
