- OmegaWiki is a multilingual dictionary whose aim is to describe all words of all languages with definitions in all languages. The data is stored in a relational database. It runs on WikiLexicalData, an extension of MediaWiki.
The software is opensource and the data is free. The key idea of OmegaWiki is to be based around concepts (which we call DefinedMeaning) rather than around words (which we call Expression). This is what makes it truly multilingual.
Another advantage of OmegaWiki with regard to traditional wikis is that data is stored in a relational database. For a computer, this means that the data is easy to retrieve, analyze and reuse. For a human, it means that the pages showing definitions are not fixed in a given language, but can be easily generated dynamically in any language. If you set the interface to French, you see the definitions in French, but contribute to the same data as e.g. another contributor having the interface in English.
Currently anyone is able to edit and add data to OmegaWiki. However, to be able to modify or delete existing data, the account need to be manually approved, because the rollback functionality is not yet implemented.
OmegaWiki is privately hosted and currently not supported by any organization. If you are a non-profit organization interested in supporting OmegaWiki (basically, we just need a structure to which donations can be made), please contact User:Kipcool.
