Resumé

The paper gives a short presentation of Norsk Ordbok (The Norwegian dictionary) as
to scope and history. The recent computerization efforts have given the project a
database with the data structured in a way that invites exploitation in the format of
an electronic dictionary. The authors account for the information categories that are
reflected in the new database, and on how these categories can be activated by the
search system developed to access information from the database. It is argued that
the database and the search system already constitutes an electronic dictionary, with
the defined user group restricted to the editors for now. Made public, the authors
think that the electronic dictionary both will obtain new users, and will be put to
other uses than the paper version. In conclusion three focuses for future work are
outlined. Firstly the project wants to present the dictionary integrated with its
sources. Secondly, it is discussed how the user interface could accommodate
different user groups, and finally it is commented on how a well designed crossreference
system may be exploited for new kinds of searches.
