Invitation to comment on DMLex Version 1.0 before call for consent as OASIS Standard
Comment period ends April 1st
OASIS and the OASIS Lexicographic Infrastructure Data Model and API (LEXIDMA) TC [1] are pleased to announce that Data Model for Lexicography (DMLex) Version 1.0 is now available for public review and comment.
The LEXIDMA TC’s purpose is to create an open standards based framework for internationally interoperable lexicographic work. The TC will develop a simple, modular, and easy to adopt data model that will be attractive for all lexicographic industry actors across companies and academia as well as geographic locations. Adoption of that model will facilitate exchange of lexicographic and linguistic corpus data globally and also enable effective exchange with adjacent industries such as language services, terminology management, or technical writing.
The TC received three Statements of Use from University of Galway, Lexical Computing, and Jozef Stefan Institute [3].

All comments submitted to OASIS are subject to the OASIS Feedback License, which ensures that the feedback you provide carries the same obligations at least as the obligations of the TC members. In connection with this public review we call your attention to the OASIS IPR Policy [4] applicable especially [5] to the work of this technical committee.
