the sami language project has a number of interesting features (<a href="http://giellatekno.uit.no/english.html">http://giellatekno.uit.no/english.html</a>), one of which is a number of dictionaries which can be found here: <br>

A somewhat answer to your first question would be that Content<br>
Management Systems and Drupal in particular are interesting<br>
technologies that can be used to implement online dictionaries. They<br>
allow anyone with a bit of experience to create an online dictionary<br>
with all kinds of interesting features, including audio, video, and<br>
any of the necessary fields you would need to classify the words.<br>
<br>
You could even have it so that the online dictionary is developed in<br>
more of a wiki style where anybody could add words. For control<br>
purposes you could have someone check over words that have been<br>
entered.<br>
<br>
On top of this Drupal has an internationalization module [1] that<br>
allows you to translate the Drupal interface into whatever language<br>
you want. I started an online wordlist [2] one afternoon, but haven't<br>
got into filling in the rest of the info.<br>
<br>
Drupal is free to downoload and is open source.<br>
