JMdictDB Database Project

Overview

The JMdictDB online database has been developed to support the maintenance of the JMdict/EDICT, JMNEdict/ENAMDICT and other dictionary files originally compiled by Jim Breen. From May 2010 the JMdict/EDICT file has been maintained using the database, with full public access enabled in July 2010. The database system has been developed by Stuart McGraw.

Access to the database is in several forms:

  • the WWWJDIC servers link directly to the edit screen of the JMdictDB system when a user wishes to add a new entry or amend an existing entry.
  • other servers using the JMdict/EDICT file are encouraged to offer similar links.
  • JMdictDB system's own search/lookup screens. These can look up entries using Japanese words, English words and the entries' sequence numbers. There is a basic search screen and an advanced search screen]

Users will be able to propose new entries and edit existing entries. New entries and amended entries will be held as "pending" until approved by one of the editors working with the project. The user submissions can be viewed using this page.

The contents of the JMdictDB database are released daily as the current JMdict and EDICT dictionary files, and are automatically added to the WWWJDIC dictionary server.
