From "TshwaneLex to TshwanePedia": Creating and Flexibly Maintaining Online Encyclopaedias*

Abstract

The addition of a restricted number of features to the dictionary (compilation) soft-ware TshwaneLex suffices to turn this application into a tool for the creation and maintenance of encyclopaedias. This article gives a brief overview of those extra features, using the online encyclo-paedia of the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) as case study.

Keywords: lexicography, dictionary, encyclopaedia, software, online, tshwanelex, tshwanepedia, james randi educational foundation.
