Markup of Korean Dictionary Entries

bmkang @ kuccnx.korea.ac.kr Dictionary markup (encoding) is one of the concerns of TEI (Text Encoding Initiative), an international project for text encoding. In this paper, we investigate ways to use and extend TEI encoding scheme for the markup of Korean dictionary entries. Since TEI suggestions for dictionary markup are mainly for western language dictionaries, we need to cope with problems to be encountered in encoding Korean dictionary entries. We try to extend and modify the TEI encoding scheme in the way suggested by TEI. Also, we restrict the content model so that the encoded dictionary might be viewed more as a database than as a simple computerized, originally printed, dictionary. 1
