Back-End

Back-End

We need some kind of interface to do this

Samuel Lubli | 12/23

Interface

Back-End

Back-End: SOAP Service

We decided to implement a SOAP service
Protocol specication for exchanging data via RPC/HTTP Ocial W3C recommendation Uses XML as a transport format Fully platform independent

Back-End

Back-End: SOAP Service

The Phoenix2 SOAP Service provides two functions: getOccurrences ( Lemma ) getOccurrenceDetails ( OccurrenceID )

Back-End: SOAP Service

The Phoenix2 SOAP Service thus enables the following functionality: getOccurrences ( Lemma ) Show all occurrences, given a lemma getOccurrenceDetails ( OccurrenceID ) Show meta information, given the ID (a numeral identier) of an occurence

Interface

Front-End

Front-End
The DEAF develops a number of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) which
Build upon the DEAFs electronic dictionary writing system Allow for an integration of DocLing material

No complete blend: DocLing material will continue to be recognizeable as external material

Plan of Action

Plan of Action

Release
Our joint work is foreseen to be released in three steps: 1. All materials without semantic structure 2. All materials with a dedicated semantic structure for DocLing entries 3. Full integration of the DocLing entries into the DEAF article structure

Sabine Tittel | 18/23

Plan of Action

Milestones
Phoenix2
 Migrate old lemmata Implement SOAP service Lemmatize texts

DEAF Writing System

Implement new GUIs Adapt publication format (web edition)

First version due in autumn 2013

Conclusion

Conclusion

Benets
Both DocLing and Phoenix2 benet from our cooperation: Phoenix2
The vocabulary of the DocLing texts is embedded into its natural context of the Old French language, andvia the DEAFs etymological discussion in the broader context of the Romance languages.

DEAF
A considerable number of digital source texts is added to the dictionary. This new source material will strengthen the foundation of the semantic structure of the DEAF articles and enhance its quality.
