Case study: Dutch libraries

The Dutch Libraries organisation - De Bibliotheken - has the Verschuere dictionary at her disposal, which contains approximately 200,000 terms and explanations.

Re-use of search structure

The RNA project links keywords and matching words in the description of other keywords. In this way a network of lemmas is created, a reference structure that was already implicitly present in the descriptions. This lemma network is largely created through automation. The result is an encyclopaedic network of lemmas where users can jump from keyword to keyword and from keywords to linked content.
