6. Working meeting on Internet lexicography

The last working meeting of the network will shed light on a central aspect of research and practice on Internet lexicography, namely the question of the appropriate presentation of word articles, the keyword list, the usage instructions and help texts, etc. for the medium of the Internet Information, the design of research options or the use of color, animation and multimedia elements. Another question to be asked is whether the design of Internet dictionaries should be based on printed dictionaries. Overall, answers are sought to the question of how the "hypertext dictionary" can be designed in such a way that users can navigate it successfully, and how lexicographical information and links can be presented in the Internet dictionary in order to enable successful lookups.

Not only lexicographers and metalexicographers will have their say, but also visualization and usability experts. In contributions to as many different Internet dictionaries as possible, the spectrum of design options will become clear, whereby the advantages and disadvantages of the chosen presentation can be discussed. Looking back at various other working meetings (on dictionary usage research and user-adaptive approaches, on the lexicographical process), the question of how the integration of users should be designed must also be answered.
