| Abstract: |
Two dictionary data base systems developed at Kyoto University are presented in this paper. One is for a Japanese dictionary (Shinmeikai Kokugojiten, published by Sansei-do) and the other is for an English-Japanese dictionary (New Concise English-Japanese Dictionary, also published by Sansei-do). Both are medium-size dictionaries containing about 60.000 lexical items. This paper discusses two main topics. The first is the problem of translating large, unformatted linguistic data. Up to now no serious attempts have been made to solve this problem, though several systems have been proposed to translate data in a certain format into another. A universal data translator/verfier, called DTV, has been developed and used for data translation of the two dictionaries. The detailed construction of DTV is given. The other topic is the problem of the data organization appropriate for dictionaries. It is emphasized that the distinction between 'external structures' and 'internal structures' is important in a dictionary system. Though the external structures
can be easily managed by general DBMS's, the internal (or linguistic) structures cannot be so well manipulated. Some additional, linguistic are oriented operations have to be incorporate in dictionary data base systems with universal DBMS
operations. Some examples of applications of the dictionary systems are also given. |
