Development of the Ottoman Historical Dictionary: Implementation and Impact

This presentation outlines the ongoing efforts to develop an Ottoman Historical Dictionary, a critical resource for understanding historical documents in the Ottoman language, which is now considered a dead language. It reviews the background, needs assessment, and implementation process using MySQL and PHP. Key features include an ER-diagram change, dynamic forms, and a verification interface. The dictionary aims to serve as more than just a word reference, influencing cultures from North Africa to Greece, while addressing the absence of contemporary resources on this important historical language.
