regrets for BP telecon / electronic dictionaries

I had a 19 hour trip back from Japan yesterday, am taking a 
little downtime. On thesaurus front, not much visible 
progress to report, but I did have a number of meetings with 
Japanese researchers in the electronic dictionary / NLP area,
inlcuding discussions on wordnet, skos, i18n etc.

has pointers and a little more detail. I worked on an example
in Japanese,

In http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Europe/200404/i18n/jptofu-example1.xml I 
start a sketch of how the nouns from an electronic dictionary could be 
projected into RDF. I'd be interested to get some discussion going re
scope, ie. where 'thesaurus and similar' stops and natural-language
oriented dictionary representations start, whether the same core markup 
(loose notions of 'concept' etc) could be applicable to each, alongside 
some extensions.
