Framework for the design of intellectual dictionary systems and their primary functions

The paper proposes the framework for the design of the Intellectual Dictionary System (IDS) prototype, as well as its primary functions, including three main structural components: ($i$) parallel text and multimedia data storage; ($ii$) lexicographical knowledge base and supracorpora databases; and ($iii$) bilingual online dictionaries generated by IDS. Distinguishing features of IDS are as follows: first, the possibility to store the descriptions of personal and collective concepts of the lexicographers' knowledge, as well as their dictionary representation in two natural languages in the form of dictionary entries; second, IDS allows updating online dictionaries by entries; and third, IDS gives the possibility to customize not only the user interface of the bilingual online dictionaries, but also the amount of the content displayed in an entry. The goal of the article is to describe the framework for the design of IDS, its primary functions and components.
