- The chair acknowledged the late contribution email sent by Michal earlier today on "Embedding and recursion in dictionaries: preliminary observations".

https://markmail.org/message/wgzdw4234qtjrzof

As Michal and Milos were unfortunately not present at today's meeting, we will revisit Michal's action item at the next meeting.

- We clarified the difference between nesting and recursion.

--Recursion: A mathematical phenomenon; a special kind of nesting where an object/element of one type is allowed to contain other objects/elements of the same type. Allows for infinite looping which we want to avoid

--Nesting: an object/element is allowed to contain other objects/elements. (Ilan noted that nesting is the term more familiar to lexicography)

One of the design principles still under consideration states "Avoid recursion (of the core elements)"
Michal's email and the minutes from the previous meeting already show that dictionaries rarely go beyond two levels. The question is whether nesting is still done by lexicographers who create a dictionary in 2020, as as Simon explains, the LEXIDMA model should cover the situations lexicographers find themselves in when compiling a dictionary in 2020. It does not necessarily have to cover all the situations that TEI Lex-0 and Ontolex-Lemon cover.
Lexicography currently finds itself in a transition period with XML and the traditional way of thinking to a more relational way of thinking (a route already taken by Ontolex). So for instance, you can have senses within senses, but you model them all as senses and then specify the relations between them.

On the basis of this, a new design principle is added (under the principles that are still under consideration): Prefer relational modeling to nesting. https://github.com/oasis-tcs/lexidma/wiki/Fused-revised-design-principles  was edited during the meeting to reflect this.
