- We recently acquired the DCI (Data Collection Initiative) CD-ROM distributed
- by ACL (Association for Computational Linguistics), containing, among other
- goodies, the Collins English Dictionary. I cannot make sense out of
- the dictionary entries since there is no documaentation on their
- format anywhere, and after some efforts to get more information, got
- little help so far.
-
- I did come to know that Prof. (?) Lloyd Nakatani and a student worked
- to produce a parsed version of the entries, which was also included on
- the CD-ROM. So I have also been trying to get in touch with Prof.
- Lloyd Nakatani to see if he could help me.
-
- I would appreciate any information in this regard, e.g., any
- documentation on the format, the address (preferably e-mail or even US
- mail) of Prof. Nakatani or the student who worked on it (his name was
- not in the README file), etc.
-
- Thanks.
