Modelling usage information in a legacy dictionary

Abstract

This paper describes ongoing work in the modelling of usage information in the context of the MORDigital project. The latter is based on the encoding and publication as linked data of Diccionario da Lingua Portugueza, a Portuguese legacy dictionary authored by António de Morais Silva, whose first edition was published in 1789. In this paper, we will focus on the modelling of domain labels in Ontolex-Lemon, based on a previous encoding of the dictionary’s entries in TEI Lex-0. This approach should be reusable for other projects involving the linked data publication of legacy dictionaries.
