LSJ:About
About
This project consisted originally in the conversion into mediawiki format of Liddell, Scott, Jones' A Greek–English Lexicon, which is more commonly known as LSJ. The data have been provided by the Perseus Project with a Creative Commons Sharealike / Non-Commercial / Attribution license.
Since then a number of other sources (Ancient Greek/Latin to and from other languages) have been added.

The implementation of the semantic features would not be possible without the help of Ike Hecht and Yaron Koren. Also, many thanks to Robert Stojnic for setting up Lucene on the server.
Paper
A paper (in Greek with an English abstract) has been written regarding the development of this site and presented at the 9th Conference "Hellenic Language and Terminology" (Athens, 7-9 November 2013) with the title Wikifying the LSJ (presentation in Greek-English bilingual pdf and Powerpoint format).
