Overview
--------

Multilingual lexical databases are (i) databases for (ii)  structured 
lexical data which can be used either (iii) by  humans e.g. to define 
their own dictionaries or (iv) by  natural language processing (NLP) 
applications. Such  databases are now felt indispensable in language 
science  with the advances of language engineering. Like databases in  
genomics, multilingual lexical databases need rich  annotations; they 
are complex, and they evolve as time goes by.

  The Papillon project is a Web collaborative project with the  aim to 
build an open source multilingual lexical database  for several 
languages (French, German, English, Japanese,  Lao, Malay, Thai and 
Vietnamese). The provided lexical  information has to be rich enough 
for a human to be able to  query and generate his/her own tailored 
dictionary (e.g. for  language learning or for translation work) and 
for NLP  applications to be able to extract a whole range of data or  
to directly exploit some particular data.

  The 2004 Papillon workshop, the fifth in a series of  workshops 
organized every year by the Papillon members, will  aim at identifying 
problems relevant to the  multilingual-lexical-database community. The 
workshop aims  to promote exchanges between practitioners from several  
fields and is thus open to anybody working in a domain  pertaining to 
lexical databases such as: databases,  man-machine interface for 
dictionaries, data annotation,  XML, standardization of dictionaries or 
lexical data;  lexicography, translation, computational linguistics, 
etc.

Tentative Program
-----------------

The program will have a varied format, designed to maximize  
cross-fertilization among the various specialties, and to  allow 
extended open discussion. Components of the program  will include:
	- 	Tutorials on relevant models from linguistics, databases  or 
annotation, e.g. the structure of lexical entries and  semi-structured 
query languages;
	- 	Panel sessions on annotated text and lexicons (and  possibly 
others);
	- 	Paper presentations reporting new research;
	- 	Demonstrations of systems for creating and/or managing  lexical 
data.

The following papers will be presented during the conference:
	1.  	 Refining Algorithm of Extracted Pattern Rule Set from  Penn 
TreeBank Corpus. Akira Adachi, and Takenori Makino
	2.  	LC-STAR: XML-coded Phonetic Lexica and Bilingual Corpora  for
