Chapter 7. ViCoS

ViCoS is an extension of LEXUS. It allows users to complement lexical spaces (as created by LEXUS) with ontological spaces. With ViCoS, users can define concepts they judge culturally relevant, and connect them to other concepts via a multitude of (user-definable) relation types. All concepts are anchored in the language to express them, and links can be established to objects in the multimedia archive to further describe them. The resulting conceptual space thus adds a new dimension to language documentation.

To switch from LEXUS to ViCoS use the menu option in the top frame of the Workspace Editor: LEXUS --> ViCoS.

ViCoS has its own manual. You can find it on the ViCoS web site.
