XML Indexing - solutions

• The hierarchical structure of XML lends itself to indexing, as each separate entry in the XML file can be considered as a separate entity

• To make the Warlpiri dictionary usable for Kirrkirr an ad hoc indexing system was developed

  • Uses a slightly modified Ælfred XML parser
  • Entries are indexed by headword in a separate index file

• The system returns an XML document object containing the single dictionary entry, facilitating:

  • processing for related words (Graph layout)
  • XSL processing to HTML
