ProZ, one of the largest translators’ community, launched its new initiative: Wikiwords (still in beta version).

Wikiwords is a collaborative project to create a dictionary of all terms in all languages with definitions and example sentences.

The Wikiwords schema is built around concepts. For example, a dog is a concept. It can be conveyed in the English language with more than one term (such as dog, doggie, etc.). In Wikiwords, these terms are linked to the concept of a dog, as well as other terms in other languages that convey this same concept. Similarly, definitions and fields are also related to concepts. The diagram below summarizes the Wikiwords schema.
