<br>
Many lexicographers work nowadays with huge digital corpora, using
<br>
language technology to build and to maintain the lexicon. But access
to
<br>
the potential wealth of information in dictionaries remains limited
for
<br>
the common user. Yet, the new possibilities of electronic media in
terms
<br>
of comfort, speed and flexibility (multiple inputs, polyform
outputs)
<br>
are enormous. Computational resources are not prone to the same
<br>
limitations as paperbound dictionaries. The latter were limited in
<br>
scope, being confined to a specific task (translation, synonyms,
...)
<br>
due to economical reasons, but this limitation is not justified
anymore.
<br>
<br>
Today we can perform all tasks via one single resource, which may
<br>
comprise a dictionary, a thesaurus and even more. The goal of this
<br>
workshop is to perform the groundwork for the next generation of
<br>
electronic dictionaries, that is, to study the possibility of
<br>
integrating the different resources, as well as to explore the
<br>
feasibility of taking the user's needs, knowledge and access
strategies
<br>
into account.
<br>
<br>
Motivated by the success of Cogalex-1, a workshop held in
conjunction
<br>
with Coling2008 (Manchester), we decided to organize a follow-up
event:
<br>
Cogalex-2.
