“…These resources are integrated, i.e. they are not a random collection of unrelated dictionary tools, but a collection of lexical data organised through an innovative concept of data modelling and structuring (Müller-Spitzer and Möhrs 2008). Following this line of work, we also defend integrating lexicography and terminology in the same dictionary portal, as shown below.…”

This paper advocates the convergence of terminology and lexicography, and illustrates this view by presenting some of the steps taken for incorporating terminological resources and ideas in an online dictionary portal that is being constructed at the University of Valladolid (Spain). This dictionary portal contains several dictionary types, was designed by the same team and is being constructed from the same theoretical perspective, regardless of whether some of the lexical items included are judged "lexicographic", i.e. related to general language expressions, or "terminological", i.e. connected with terms. In addition to dealing with certain basic tenets of dictionary portals, the paper describes an ad-hoc typology of definitions that has been created for two main reasons. Firstly, it makes the process of compilation easier, more uniform, and more readily systematised, thus facilitating the efforts of different people in different places at different times. Secondly, these definitions will feed the Spanish-English Write Assistant, a commercially driven language tool that uses a language module based on statistics and is in the process of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, e.g. machine learning and neural networks, for creating patterns. We have found that precise definitions, similar to terminological (i.e. encyclopaedic) definitions, for most lemmas increase the tool's functions. Such definitions offer a very different picture of current monolingual Spanish and bilingual Spanish-English dictionaries.

Compiling a dictionary is a challenging, laborious and time-consuming task, sometimes a real "drudgery". For many years collecting data and compiling dictionary entries was done with pen and paper, with lots of time spent in routine tasks. Nowadays dictionaries are written on computers. As a consequence, more and more targeted software tools are being developed. These allow lexicographers to concentrate more on their core business, to guarantee the long term storage and reusability of data and, finally, to better support a consistent and structured lexicographic process from the conception phase to the final product. Any software that serves these purposes is generally referred to as a dictionary writing system (DWS). This contribution aims at giving a general overview over the topic of DWSs as well as illustrating the state of the art. Special attention will be given to all additional tools and features that go beyond a simple DWS.
