[John McCrae]

Hi Michal, Thanks for this. Some initial comments. 1/ You model the headword as an attribute, and the inflected forms as a child of an entry. This can lead to some issues as it is not possible to provide further information about the lemma form (e.g., a label) and leads to the lemma often being repeated in the entry. This is actually what LMF does so it is not unprecedented but I am not keen on it. 2/ I am not sure about allowing PartOfSpeech, Pronunciation and InflectedForm as children of Sense. Having senses of an entry with different part-of-speech values is something that some models explicitly avoid, we would also need to figure out how this inherits from the Entry's PartOfSpeech. I don't think we should have Pronunciation and InflectedForm at all, as senses with different pronunciations or inflections are homographs and we really should insist that homographs are distinct at the Entry level. 3/ There seems to be no way to record properties of entries such as noun gender in the model. 4/ Pronunciation probably needs a scheme and a variety property. See this recent paper (Sec 3.3) for a discussion of this: https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2021.gwc-1.11.pdf 5/ I don't see the logic of having the name TranslationPartOfSpeech (etc.) as distinct from PartOfSpeech (and why not SensePartOfSpeech to be consistent?) 6/ It is odd that a sense group has a part-of-speech value. What is the purpose of this?

The idea is that this would be an easy-to-understand, easy-to-implement recommended data model for someone who is just starting a dictionary project and does not have a strong opinion yet on how to encode things, or even what to encode. I have written this in Markdown (not DocBook) because that's how I like to think-and-write. If people are happy then we can start putting it into DocBook. I am attaching two versions, one in PDF for reading and another in Markdown for easy copying and pasting, if anybody needs it.
