ordnet.dk – et nyt sprogligt opslagsværk på internettet

Abstract

ordnet.dk – a new lookup tool on the Internet. We give an account of the architecture and
functionalities of a web-based application that gives joint access to three existing resources and
seeks to combine them in a new way. The project includes digitisation of the historical 28-volume
dictionary Ordbog over det danske Sprog (Dictionary of the Danish Language) as well as the
integration with its five supplementary volumes. The modern Den Danske Ordbog (The Danish
Dictionary) will continuously be supplied with new material and adapted to a concept for a digital
dictionary which will among other things introduce new features such as onomasiological queries
and larger integration with the Korpus 2000 component. The corpus module is supplied with
additional material, and a revision of both the interface and functionalities of the module is
foreseen as part of the project which runs until the end of 2009.
