Abstract
In this paper we will present the research that is taking place at the NOVA CLUNL1 where an
international team is working on a financed project MORDigital2. MORDigital’s goal is to
encode the selected editions of Diccinario de Lingua Portugueza by António de Morais Silva
(MOR), first published in 1789.

1. Introduction
MORDigital’s ultimate goals are, on the one hand, to promote accessibility to cultural heritage
while fostering reusability and, on the other hand, to contribute towards a more significant presence of
lexicographic digital content in Portuguese through open tools and standards. MOR represents a
significant legacy, since it marks the beginning of Portuguese dictionaries, having served as a model
for all subsequent lexicographic production. The team follows a new paradigm in lexicography, which
results from the convergence between lexicography, terminology, computational linguistics, and
ontologies as an integral part of digital humanities and linked (open) data. In the Portuguese context,
this research fills a gap concerning searchable online retrodigitised dictionaries, built on current

standards and methodologies which promote data sharing and harmonisation, namely TEI Lex-04 and
Ontolex-Lemon5. The team will further ensure the connection to other existing systems and lexical
resources, particularly in the Portuguese-speaking world.
For this paper, after posing the theoretical background (terminology and lexicography) that
/underpins our methodology, we will present 4 interrelated tasks:
1. Structuration of MOR’s digitised versions using GROBID-Dictionaries6, a specific software
for the parsing, extraction and structuring of information extracted from dictionary text. In our
case, the tool will be used to parse the constituent parts of each dictionary entry, which involves
the preparation of a native encoding format that is compliant with the XML/TEI metamodel.
2. Presentation of a systematic analysis of the Mathematical Sciences and Medical Sciences
domains, their related domain labels [6], [1] and other mechanisms, such as the use of formulae
present in the definition which identifies the specialised field of knowledge. We will propose a
hierarchical organisation that constitutes the foundation of domain ontologies.
3. Representation of the model in OWL resorting to Protégé7, a free, open-source ontology
editor. This means each class or individual in the ontology will be assigned a URI (Universal
Resource Identifier), used to reference the label present in each of the lexicographic entries in
accordance – whenever possible – with the TEI schemas.
4. Conversion of the TEI Lex-0 output of Task 4 into linked data using the RDF-based model
Ontolex-Lemon; the conversion will be based on work already carried out in the scope of
previous initiatives in rendering the two models more interoperable. The Ontolex-Lemon model
has recently been extended by a lexicography module – lexicog8 –, which facilitates
interoperability in modelling dictionaries as linked data.
At the end of the paper, we will discuss the results, highlighting the challenges that we faced.
