abstract = "The paper describes the process of digitizing and annotating some 23,000 lexicographic paper
slips compiled by the amateur lexicographer Dimitrije Čemerikić (1882-1960) to document the
Serbian dialect from the historic city of Prizren. This previously unpublished dictionary of the
Prizren dialect is an important resource not only for dialectologists and linguists, but also for
ethnolinguists and ethnologists who are interested in various aspects of popular culture and
urban life in the city of Prizren. The alphabetic arrangement of the macrostructure, however,
is not conducive to exploratory searches: if users want to find out which dialect word
corresponds to a standard Serbian word, or explore a certain type of vocabulary, they need
access paths to the dictionary content that go beyond the indexing of the macrostructure. The
paper describes an elaborate annotation strategy based on marking up headwords with
standardized orthographic alternatives, providing lexical equivalents and assigning semantic
fields to entries in order to achieve robust navigability and searchability of the collection
without full-text transcription and/or structural data modeling.",
