Lexicographers, stop by! I have been researching the market in…

  • Lexicographers, stop by!

    I have been researching the market in search of a dictionary compiling software. Apart from few desktop commercial applications there is also a handful of them at sourceforge.net. But there is really only one free web-based multiuser dictionary management system on the market — Glossword. What does make it really useful for any lexicographer is the following:

    • XML as the main dictionary format (you can add whatever dictionary fields you want, edit xml in an external editor and then import it into glossword);
    • skin-based design — you can adjust design to your own preferences;
    • convenient navigation (find a searched term within seconds, its companions in the index are not far to get hold of);
    • admin - lexicographer - user — all have their priviledges in the system (different people can edit different entries of the same dictionary simultaneously!);
    • php + MySQL required only, standard hosting plan.

    What can be added:

    • multimedia support so that dictionary can contain images, audio and video files;
    • custom dictionary indexation (nest, reverse, custom, etc.).

    The php code is translucent and easy to modify. Way to go, Dmitry! Thank you for the excellent piece of software.
