- Resum
- The fwf-funded project 'Dictionary of Old English Plant Names' is based on the work on this subject carried out by Peter Bierbaumer in the late 1970's. Our intentions are to update it not only with regard to scientific research but also in technical aspects. The three volumes of Der botanische Wortschatz des Altenglischen had to be digitalised: this paper provides a glimpse at how it was done and which problems were encountered. We also want to give a thorough report on the design process that spawned the sql-database which is the solid foundation of the dictionary: there will be an excursus into database and web design theory, a detailed description of the database in relation to its contents, and on techniques for data input and retrieval. This sums up the technical groundwork of the backend of our web application. It is meant to give people normally not involved in technical matters a basic understanding of database theory. The frontend – the future public portal to Anglo-Saxon plant names – is heavily 'under construction': some features are already implemented, the majority, though, is still a bunch of wild ideas. Both present and future applications are dealt with in this context.
