    HotDico Project.

    DICO is a tool to consult multiple dictionaries or structured data on a computer network developed at ISSCO (University of Geneva). It is designed to accommodate various dictionary representations. In addition to a set of basic searching mechanisms, it allows easy addition of custom indexes.

    simplicity: tool that enables non-specialist users to lookup entries in dictionaries. accessibility: it should work in an environment of networked heterogeneous computers. expandability: it should be easy to add data, indexes. robustness: it should be resistant to hazards inherent to networks and inexperienced users

    A WEB demo version of this tool is now available, with a Java User Interface. http://issco-www.unige.ch/staff/robert/hotdico/hotdico.html
