ACQUILEX I and II
The Acquilex projects were funded by the European Commission under the
Basic Research
initiative. The goal of the first project was to
explore the utility of constructing a multilingual lexical knowledge
base from machine-readable versions of conventional dictionaries. The
second project extended this goal by exploring the utility of machine
readable textual corpora as a source of lexical information not coded
in conventional dictionaries, and by adding dictionary publishing
partners to exploit the lexical database and corpus extraction
software developed by the projects for conventional lexicography.
The ACQUILEX II project finished in September 1995.
