Organize your lexica

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

I’m a little late reporting on these news, as I currently have to deal with my Civilian service in Austria. But here it is, better late than never.

There is a new way on Factolex to organize your own lexica. As you know, you can categorize your lexicon using tags in very useful ways: Just click on a tag in the tagcloud to filter your lexicon just to display these terms.

Now you can specify a title and a comment for tags that carry a special meaning for you thus creating their own (sub)lexicon.

My Lexica

Using the “Add lexicon” link on the top right of your lexicon, you can oranize your tags and also define tags to be their own lexicon. As you can see on the screenshot, we have also added a way to see how many terms and facts you have, also if you have lexica in multiple languages (as I do).

Organize Tags

Completing the updates, we have also revamped the start page a little to display a broader selection of what Factolex has to offer.

Civilian service

  • service to a government made as a civilian, particularly such service as an option for anti-militarists and pacifists who object to military service

Tag

  • keyword or term associated with a piece of information (pic, video, blog entry, etc.)

Tagcloud

  • a visual depiction of user-generated tags used typically to describe the content of web sites
  • Tags are usually single words and are typically listed alphabetically, and the importance of a tag is shown with font size or color
