<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
Hello all,<br>
I've just been able publish the semanticised version of Datuk's
original ASCII Malayalam-Malayalam dictionary digitisation work.<br>
=> <a href="http://olam.in/open/datuk" target="_blank">http://olam.in/open/datuk</a><br>

"The Datuk Corpus" is a human readable, parse-ready, Unicode
dictionary dataset with over 83,000 Malayalam words and over 106,000
definitions. It's been in development for over two years. The
dataset is an evolution of Datuk's original work, and has undergone
extensive refinement, corrections, and structuring, amounting to
tens of thousands of changes. The Github repository for the project
contains the full text corpus, an SQL dump, and a couple Python
scripts for parsing and conversion.<br>
<br>
This is the same dataset that powers Olam's Malayalam-Malayalam
dictionary that went live two days ago. Also, Datuk's original work
constitutes a substantial portion of the Malayalam Wiktionary.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sample entries from the dataset:<br>
<pre>ച ചക്രാംഗി സം. -അംഗീ _ 36953
നാ. അരയന്നപ്പിട
നാ. ചക്രവാകപ്പിട
നാ. മഞ്ചട്ടി
നാ. കക്കടകശൃംഗി</pre>
<pre>പ പരോക്ഷം _ _ 57697
നാ. മറവ്
നാ. പരോക്ഷജ്ഞാനം
നാ. പ്രത്യക്ഷമല്ലാത്തത്</pre>
<br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>The dataset looks very convenient to convert to RFC2229 format used by dictd. If anyone is interested to create an offline version of it, see <a href="http://wiki.smc.org.in/Dictionary">http://wiki.smc.org.in/Dictionary</a> and contact me for help.</div>
