Wordcarta - Open Word Dictionary
What is your idea? What makes it innovative? Why is it important?
Wordcarta aims to become one of these resources to help anyone have access on Word World Dictionary. Currently the dictionary has 203147 English words and definitions and more to come. It will have a dictionary for every country: e.g. de.wordcarta.org, nl.wordcarta.org, fr.wordcarta.org, es.wordcarta.org and so on.
Will you launch your idea as a business or non-profit?
Non-profit
Country your work focuses on
What will be the impact of your idea?
Generation to come will use Internet as a main resource for Education. The project is currently (not officially launched) in BETA with English version available (203147 words) and more to come, (Romanian version available with 300.000+ words and definitions - work in progress to integrate in the current database). Wordcarta is a very scalable project due to the fact it will have a version for every country, so the impact will be GLOBAL.
The innovation in this project is that everyone will be able to contribute and edit/add words and description in and from any language.
This project is important due to the fact it will be an Open Word Dictionary, an API will be available to be used in other dictionary websites and softwares. Imagine to have a website or software that will allow you to check words from any language.
Who will help you develop your idea? Why are you the one to make this happen?
Since this it will be an Open Word Dictionary project, everyone will be able to contribute.
When I was a kid, after returning from school with homework to do (on a daily base), at that time there was no internet to use and it was hard to look for resources and dictionaries. I want to work with EVERYONE to create a free, Open Word Dictionary available to everyone, everywhere.
A live demo (work on progress) of the project is here: http://www.wordcarta.org/
How much will it cost to launch your idea? (This can be an estimate)
At this moment, I am stuck with the development of the CMS to be able to add new editors and scale the database with multiple country versions. The cost to make a CMS will be around 7-10K USD.
