Abstract:

The goal of the study is a design of a framework for formalized representation
of lexical knowledge, as presented in bilingual dictionaries. Little research
has been done on the possibilities of representation and storage of the
knowledge acquired in the process of lexicographical analysis and used in the
synthesis of dictionary entries. Separation of content from a particular form
would allow for re-use of the data for several purposes (including NLP) and
for flexible customization of  dictionaries for different users.

In the first part, general abstract principles of representation of lexical
knowledge are sought. The structure of different dictionary entries is
analyzed. Modern technical approaches, which may contribute to an efficient
representation of the knowledge, are summarized and a generic abstract model
for its representation is defined in terms of objects and relations, together
with a proposal for a modular implementation separating the language and
dictionary specific components.

The second part demonstrates the use of the model for one particular task: a
detailed description of a group of Norwegian nouns in contrast with their
Czech equivalents. The nouns are analyzed and a possible representation of the
knowledge is presented using the proposed generic model and task specific
specifications.
