Michael Dyck has announced the availability of
an XML
version of the GCIDE dictionary, derived from
Webster's dictionary. The full download totals
about 13MB of zip files.
The Collaborative
Internet Dictionary
project is an ongoing effort to "develop a modern
on-line comprehensive encyclopaedic
dictionary, by the efforts of all
individuals willing to help build a
large and freely available knowledge
base".
Michael Dyck hopes eventually to provide a
DTD/schema, a style sheet and a search engine for
use with the dictionary. He invites others to help
in this effort.
