We are hereby announcing a call for contributions to the session on dictionary enrichment.

We would like to call on you to submit 300-word abstracts for 20-minute presentations of by January 13th 2016 on any topic related to the methods and tools used to refine, enhance and improve raw dictionary data with the goal of providing added value to digitized legacy dictionaries in terms of accuracy, consistency and completeness of the information they contain.

Whether we speak about correcting typographic mistakes in dictionary sources, establishing unambiguous bibliographic references to dictionary quotations or geolocating place names, for instance, we are especially interested in papers that will contribute to a broader discussion about:

  • typologies of dictionary enrichment methods;
  • examples and best practices of dictionary enrichment methods; and
  • quality assurance of enrichment methods.
