Does anyone have any information or experience on XML and similar
formats, schemas etc for dictionaries? I am looking ahead towards how we
might release the output of the KTBH (Key Terms in Biblical Hebrew)
project (see http://www.ktbh-team.org/ for a very brief introduction).
We would also be interested in compatibility with formats to be used for
FieldWorks etc, although we may have requirements, e.g. for discursive
text and diagrams as well as hyperlinks, which go beyond those of
typical dictionaries produced by SIL etc. I would appreciate any advice
in this area.
