Whiteboard/TEI Dictionary Proposal
From CrossWire Bible Society
Contents
Summary
The current lexicon model allows for only flat dictionaries. A new model needs to take into account page numbers, non-alphabetic sorting, and hierarchical entries.
Features of the Current Model
The current dictionary model involves a flat dictionary that must be sorted according to unicode code points. This leads to a number of problems.
Proposed Features of a New Model
