Sounds interesting.  The topic came up at work as I was explaining the 
difference between a TEI-like representation of a dictionary, where the 
elements more or less matched objects in the print dictionary, vs. an 
LMF-like representation, where the structure is flattened--e.g. 
sub-entries become entries on their own.  (I hope I'm not 
mis-representing LMF here!)  One implication of an LMF-like 
representation is that the distinction between a root-based dictionary 
and a stem-based dictionary becomes a matter of "views," with obvious 
importance for Arabic dictionaries, among others.  Oddly, I can find 
little published discussion of this, which seems to me at least to be a 
fundamental distinction.  And that's what I was tossing out the idea of 
describing in some sort of book-length publication, discussing not only 
the differences, but also the motivation.

Of course, I'd be glad to find out I'm just unaware of published 
descriptions of this!
