This paper describes the designing of a categorized collection of Tamil literary devices, using the Greenstone Digital Library software (GSDL). The records briefly describing the devices are in Tamil and English. Browsing and retrieval can be in either of the languages. The hypertext linking to a remote database, online Tamil Lexicon hosted by the University of Chicago Digital Dictionaries of South Asian - Languages is demonstrated. Tamil figures of speech, numbering over 190 records form a separate GSDL collection but with link from the literary devices collection. The home pages (Tamil and English) present introductory notes on Tamil literary devices, the GSDL collection, and how to browse and search the collection.

Abstract


This paper describes the designing of a categorized collection of Tamil literary devices, using the Greenstone Digital Library software (GSDL). The records briefly describing the devices are in Tamil and English. Browsing and retrieval can be in either of the languages. The hypertext linking to a remote database, online Tamil Lexicon hosted by the University of Chicago Digital Dictionaries of South Asian - Languages is demonstrated. Tamil figures of speech, numbering over 190 records form a separate GSDL collection but with link from the literary devices collection. The home pages (Tamil and English) present introductory notes on Tamil literary devices, the GSDL collection, and how to browse and search the collection.
