Abstract
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The JMdict project has at its aim the compilation of a multilingual lexical database with Japanese as the pivot language. Using an XML structure designed to cater for a mix of languages and a rich set of lexicographic information, it has reached a size of approximately 100,000 entries, with most entries having translations in English, French and German. The compilation involves information re-use, with the French and German translations being drawn from separately maintained lexicons. Material from other languages is also being included. The file is freely available for research purposes and for incorporation in dictionary application software, and is available in several WWW server systems.</Paragraph>
