The system\r\nmakes it possible to synchronize edits done in XML-based dictionaries and edits done in the\r\nMediaWiki system. This makes it possible to integrate the system with the existing open-source\r\nGiellatekno infrastructure that provides and utilizes XML formatted dictionaries for use in a\r\nvariety of NLP tasks. As our system provides an online dictionary, the XML-based dictionaries\r\nbecome available for a wider audience and the dictionary editing process can be crowdsourced\r\nfor community engagement with a full integration to the existing XML dictionaries. We present\r\nhow new automatically produced data is encoded and incorporated into our system in addition\r\nto our preliminary experiences with crowdsourcing.","url_abs":"https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/publications/an-open-online-dictionary-for-endangered-uralic-languages","url_pdf":"https://helda.helsinki.fi//bitstream/handle/10138/305873/eLex_2019_46.pdf?sequence=1","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"an-open-online-dictionary-for-endangered","repo_url":"https://github.com/mikahama/akusanat","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
