seems to be the last point on your roadmap but have you any
documentation on a UW schema draft so far? I cant find anything. I'd
be particularly interest to know
- Where do you cut an interface between language universal and
language specific schemacomponents?
-- are there any guidlines for the language specific schema components?
- Are you working on basis of the EAGLES standard ?
- How are you handling eqivalence lists
- how are you handling semantic fields (fixed categories? vs keyword bag?)
- is there some place other than the mailing list to contribute to the
schema design? somewhere on metawiki?
and finally what are your first opinions on the schema? everything
clear? does it fit into your concepts? Do you want me to translate the
documentation?
Best regards from Cologne

Hoi Gustav,
At this moment we have not identified for ourselves many language
specific components. What we have identified is that a meaning and an
etymology are language dependent. I have explicitly NOT published any
schema that I could come up with because I find that it is much better
to have many schema's and discuss what is needed and why. So far it has
proven me right.
The first schema of Ultimate Wiktionary mark 1 may be lacking in some
respects. But the idea with UW is to have a base scheme, get acquainted
with what we do and ammend it. The base will be base and open for
improvements. The idea is to change the scheme on a regular basis based
on the experience that we gain and based on the functionality that we want.
At this moment in time we are building up to the moment where we DO
start talking schema's in earnest. So if you have proposals as to an
EAGLES standard the handling of equivalence lists semantic fields this
is the time to propose.
Please publish on META and use the category "Wiktionary"
Thanks,
GerardM
