Keeping Up With the Times
The Oxford English Dictionary has a reputation as the best, most comprehensive dictionary in the English speaking world.

Defining the Parameters

The theme of this year’s Data Harmony Users Group meeting is “Then and Now: Addressing the Changing Needs of Semantic Enrichment.” This begs some questions: Just what are the new challenges that semantic enrichment needs to meet? And why are the needs changing? Some preliminary answers may be found in the DHUG meeting agenda.
