Resumen
We describe a MediaWiki-based online dictionary for endangered Uralic languages. The system makes it possible to synchronize edits done in XML-based dictionaries and edits done in the MediaWiki system. This makes it possible to integrate the system with the existing open-source Giellatekno infrastructure that provides and utilizes XML formatted dictionaries for use in a variety of NLP tasks. As our system provides an online dictionary, the XML-based dictionaries become available for a wider audience and the dictionary editing process can be crowdsourced for community engagement with a full integration to the existing XML dictionaries. We present how new automatically produced data is encoded and incorporated into our system in addition to our preliminary experiences with crowdsourcing.
