Abstract
This paper presents the modelling of a common meta-index for large modern and historical lexical resources of the DWDS project. Four dictionaries of the German language are part of DWDS: (1) eWDG2, a digital version of the Wörterbuch der deutschen Gegenwartssprache (WDG, 1962-1977); (2) DWDSWB, a new and extended edition of the WDG (started in 2010); (3) EtymWB, a digital version of Wolfgang Pfeifer’s Etymologisches Wörterbuch des Deutschen (1989); (4) 1DWB, a digital version of the first edition of Grimm’s Deutsches Wörterbuch (1832-1961). Due to the different lexicographical principles and traditions employed for these resources as well as the different historical periods covered, such a meta-index cannot be modelled as a simple list of 1:1-correspondences between entries across different dictionaries. In order to model the occurring phenomena such as graphematic headword variance, homography, semantic change and differences in the semantic entry structure a more complex typed link structure is required.
