Resumen
This paper reports the results of a survey of which the main aim was to scrutinize consequences of adopting a wiki model in alignment of Medieval Latin dictionaries. In the first section, the objectives as well as the methodology of the project are presented. As a framework, we used Semantic MediaWiki (SMW), and for the purpose of the research several entries from four dictionaries were selected. In the following sections we scrutinize the presentation, search, and collaboration features provided by SMW. We demonstrate how intrinsic wiki concepts, such as namespaces, templates, property-value pairs etc., may be employed in macro- and microstructure display. Next, alternative modes of accessing lexicographical data are presented such as maps, timelines, charts etc. After that search capabilities are analyzed, among which the most important appear to be semantic properties search and faceted browsing. Lastly, the paper considers on different ways which SMW can encourage researchers to collaborate and enrich dictionary content.
