Storage
- The lexical database was converted from it's ad hoc format to XML.
- Storing the lexical database in XML is an effective median between the structure of a relational database and the flexibility and portability of a plain text file
- Storing the characteristically hierarchical dictionary information in XML has a number of benefits:
- With free, customisable parsers available, an index file can be used in conjunction with the database to improve performance and conserve bandwidth
- There is an abstraction from the content of the data and the way it is displayed. The eXtensible Style Language (XSL) allows the XML data to be rendered into various display specific formats
