Target documents

But the lexicographer (responsible for building the lexicon) and the user of the lexicon may not find this layout at all convenient, particularly for complex lexica. So other formats are required, such as User Interfaces to the lexical database (one for the lexicographer, one for the user), or card indexes, or books.

So, given a tabular Abstract Structure, possible target documents might be:

• tabular representation of a lexical database
• configured User Interface for lexicographer and user of a lexical database
• card index
• book, formatted in traditional dictionary style
