Modelling Etymology in LMF/TEI

Abstract

In this article, we will introduce two of the new parts of the new multi-part version of the Lexical Markup Framework(LMF) ISO standard, namely Part 3 of the standard (ISO 24613-3), which deals with etymological and diachronic data, andPart 4 (ISO 24613-4), which consists of a TEI serialisation of all of the prior parts of the model. We will demonstrate the useof both standards by describing the LMF encoding of a small number of examples taken from a sample conversion of thereference Portuguese dictionaryGrande Dicion ́ario Houaiss da L ́ıngua Portuguesa, part of a broader experiment comprisingthe analysis of different, heterogeneously encoded, Portuguese lexical resources. We present the examples in the UnifiedModelling Language (UML) and also in a couple of cases in TEI.
