Abstract
The presented work is a part of the Prolex project, whose aim is the design and implementation of a multi-lingual dictionary of proper names and their relationships. It focuses on the design of a standard XML representation for this kind of information. We first present the main lines of the conceptual model for proper names (a classical Entities / Relationships model), then we report on our experiment in designing an XML schema from this conceptual model. We describe the current resulting schema and discuss its main features.
