App Abstract

This is a web platform offering a powerful and accessible online Latin dictionary. It is designed for researchers, scholars, and students to get precise definitions and context using advanced filtering. Users can now work with Latin texts more efficiently by combining reliable data and easy-to-use tools.

Client Requirements

The client approached us to improve their existing dictionary. They needed to add advanced features for a global academic audience. Their key requirements were:

  • Advanced filters such as Lemma and Full Text were necessary so that users could narrow down their searches.
  • Managing a large dataset with special characters and complex linguistic variations was a core technical requirement.
  • Given the global user base, the system had to deliver consistently fast search results under heavy load.
  • The interface had to work well for both scholars and students, with a minimal learning curve.
  • The system had to support wildcards and spelling variations for flexible input.

List of App Features

Standard Search

Provides four main filters: Lemma (root words), Full Text (highlights within full entries), Citations (filters by author/source), and Index Librorum (sorts by age, edition, and notes).

Advanced Search

Extra filters for volume, pages, and lines are available. Also, it supports multiple row queries and Boolean conditions.

Alphabetical Search

Users can browse entries by initial letters across Lemma, Author Cited, and Index Librorum.

Wildcard Search

Accepts characters like ‘*’, ‘?’, or ‘!’ to replace letters or parts of words.

Quoted Word Search

You can search exact matches of terms that are placed inside quotation marks.

Synonym Search

The system supports wildcards and synonyms.

Challenges Faced

Challenges Faced

Our main aim was to accurately analyse thousands of Latin words. Many of them included Greek characters and special symbols.

Challenges Faced

Since it was handling complex character encoding and large volumes of data, fast search results were a challenge.

Challenges Faced

Creating a user interface that was both responsive and intuitive for scholars required careful design choices.

Challenges Faced

The search engine had to recognize interchangeable characters, such as I and O or U and V, without affecting accuracy.

Challenges Faced

Supporting advanced and multi-condition queries posed a performance challenge that had to be addressed without slowing down results.

Solution

Solution

Our team redesigned Latin Dictionary's architecture to handle both performance and precision. We integrated AWS Elastic Search for near-instant querying. Also, we used MongoDB to manage extensive lexical data. Spring Boot on the backend enabled scalable processing, and ReactJS provided a fluid and responsive interface.

Solution

The system was built to ensure ease of use for scholars. There are many features like flexible filtering, character recognition, multi-condition search, and alphabetical browsing that make the tool reliable and fast for academic work.
