Abstract: |
We report on a user needs investigation carried out in the framework of the project EKFRASIS that developed a platform
for supporting authoring work in Modern Greek. The platform had as a backbone a conceptually organised dictionary enhanced with rich lexicographic and morphosyntactic information. Organisation of information and encoding drew on Semantic Web technologies (ontologies). Users were all professional authors
(of literature, editors, translators, journalists) working for well-established
firms. They were all familiar with printed conceptually organized dictionaries
while most of them used a computer. They were asked to specify how the platform
would be helpful to them when they searched for a word for which they had only vague or few clues, a situation that was familiar to all of them. Users preferred to have, in a first step, easy access to limited but to-the-point lexical information
while access to rich semantic information should be provided at a second step. They were interested in rich lexical material although they were not really able to identify the relations that would help them retrieve it. They strongly preferred an organization of material by concept and PoS and appreciated easy access to normative information. |
