The Editing Tool: Edittool

<<<back

The editing tool in Managelex is the one that permits the user to add, delete, update and consult entries from a lexicon.

INPUT:

• a structure lexicon file (the output of the StructTool) – OWL encoded, or
• a structure lexicon file (the output of the StructTool) – OWL encoded -, and a lexicon file - XML encoded. These two files should be compatible.

OUTPUT:

• a lexicon file XML encoded

Possible operations to be done with this tool:

• adding a new word in the lexicon,
• deleting an existing word from the lexicon,
• updating / viewing an existing word of the lexicon,
• updating the area for lexicon information (if any).

The XML structure follows the following specification:

<lexicon>
<LexiconInfo>
...........
<!-- the tags from this tag are taken from the OWL lexicon structure file -->
</LexiconInfo>
<entries>
<entry id=”xx”>
<text>word_in_the_lexicon</text>
<structure>
............
<!-- the tags from the structure are taken from the OWL lexicon structure file -->
</structure>
</entry>
...........
</entries>
</lexicon>
