Online dictionaries can be important tools for research and application in natural language processing. This paper describes work with a machine-readable version of "Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary". First the characteristics of the dictionary are briefly described, and then the complex process of converting the tape to an online interactive dictionary is discussed. The results of several experiments in automatically deriving information from the online dictionary are presented, and the paper ends with a discussion of the use of the online dictionary as a tool in the development of a natural language processing system designed for the biomedical domain.
在线词典可以成为自然语言处理研究和应用的重要工具。本文描述了使用“多兰氏医学插图词典”机器可读版本的相关工作。首先简要描述了该词典的特点，然后讨论了将磁带转换为在线交互式词典的复杂过程。展示了从在线词典中自动提取信息的几个实验结果，本文最后讨论了将在线词典用作开发面向生物医学领域的自然语言处理系统的工具。
