Designing a language database - issues?





Hi all,


As a hobby project, I want to write a dictionary (basically of
Hungarian for English speakers - but I don't suppose that the
languages themselves matter fundamentally. It will be a bit more
complicated than just a simple word list - I want to put in grammar
and usage also.


Has any work been done on this - design of tables &c? I did Google,
but couldn't see anything satisfactory.


Any references, tips, hints or help appreciated.



Paul...

Thanks.
