Entries

When dictionaries or lexicons are encoded using CLDF's Dictionary module, each entry (a.k.a. headword, lemma, lemon's LexicalEntry) is stored as a row in the EntryTable.

Example

The EntryTable of the Daakaka dictionary is described here: https://github.com/dictionaria/daakaka/blob/v1.3/cldf/cldf-metadata.json#L45-L162 Like most dictionaries collected in Dictionaria, it provides a lot more information for each entry than what is covered by the CLDF's default EntryTable, e.g. encyclopedic information.

EntryTable: entries.csv

  • by using a known encoding scheme.
