Weekly Updates

May 24th - May 31st

Initial discussion with daf on the project design which finalized

• Using ElementTree module of python as the parser for XML dictionary files.
• Using SQLite as a temporary storage space for the parsed dictionary so that it is easy to access data without parsing the XML again.

• Work Details
  • Started with reading about python especially ElementTree class
  • Made a small sized dictionary file from gcide and making a basic class which initially only parsed the file and display its content in more readable form.
  • Modified the XMl file to remove all the characters starting with "#&" as they were unreadable by parsers and were giving errors of "Unidentified entity"
  • Applied for git repository.

June 10th - June 14th

• Work Details
  • Extended the class structure to include some more functions
  • Read about SQLite
  • Added the SQLite interface to the dictionary class which parses the dictionary and stores all the data in a database. This class is available at the git repository.
  • Fixed the error of "Unidentified entity" by adding the "DOCTYPE", which defines entities for xml files, to all the XML files.
  • Again applied for git repository as it's not been created yet.
  • Repository created :). First git commit

• Issues to be tackled
  • The "DOCTYPE" has to be included in each mxl file seperately
