As mentioned before ViCoS is inextricably linked to LEXUS - by this we mean that it takes the lexical material, which is the basis for the creation of conceptual spaces, from your lexica in LEXUS. It is also dependent on LEXUS in a few other ways but for now it is enough to know that you can only work with ViCoS on lexical data that has been imported into LEXUS. You can work on all the lexica that you have in your workspace in LEXUS and it is possible both to create conceptual links between entries within a particular lexicon as well as to link entries from different lexica in your workspace. Importantly everything that you create in ViCoS is created on the LEXUS data, but ViCoS does not modify your lexica in LEXUS in any way. In that sense the structures created in ViCoS are independent conceptual spaces. Still, ViCoS allows users to easily switch between the conceptual space that it embodies and the lexical space of LEXUS (see Section 3.3), which makes the study of language and culture more integrated.
