HotDico Project.

DICO is a tool to consult multiple dictionaries or structured data on
a computer network developed at ISSCO (University of Geneva).  It is
designed to accommodate various dictionary representations.  In
addition to a set of basic searching mechanisms, it allows easy
addition of custom indexes.

      simplicity:    tool that enables non-specialist users to lookup
                     entries in dictionaries.
      accessibility: it should work in an environment of networked
                     heterogeneous computers.
      expandability: it should be easy to add data, indexes.
      robustness:    it should be resistant to hazards inherent to
		     networks and inexperienced users

A WEB demo version of this tool is now available, with a Java User
Interface.
