Resumen de Multiple access routes: the dictionary of Bavarian dialects in Austria
In this article the Academic Austrian dialect dictionary, the Worterbuch der bairischen Mundarten in Österreich (WBO / Dictiolnary of Bavarian dialects in Austria) is introduced. In 1993, the project Datenbank der bairischen Mundarten (DBÖ / Database of Bavarian dialects in Austria) started, with a view to the digitisation of the dictionary and additional background information. In 1998 a rationalisation concept was issued planning to complete the dictionary in 2020 as a (virtual) unit consisting of the printed dictionary and the complementary database. The Database of Bavarian dialects in Austria electronically mapped (dbo@ema) combines an on line dictionary and a source material database. It demonstrates how visual, geo-referenced access structures and so called "topographic navigation" can increase usability and lead to improved interdisciplinary insight.
