Who made it?
Dr. Philipp Franko Zeitz started to work on the “Dictionary of Ophthalmology” in Summer of 2010. The digital structure at that time was programmed by Thomas Lichterbeck.
Since the end of 2010 Frau Prof. Dr. Wiebke Petersen from the Institute for Computational Linguistics at the University of Düsseldorf joined the work by analyzing the dictionary from the linguistic point of view. In Spring of 2011 Denis Anuschewski from the same institute started to improve the functional aspects of the dictionary. Since the winter term of 2011 this dictionary is an official content of the students´ working material.
In 2013 the analysis and extension of the dictionary was the main part of the project “Feature extraction for Formal Concept Analysis” at the University of Düsseldorf. The results were presented by Denis Anuschewski and Pascal Chave at the International Federation of Classification Societies (IFCS 2013) in Tilburg.
In 2015 Swiss-based medical translator Hsin-wen Amanda Wu contributed the Chinese part.
In 2022 the dictionary as well as the complete web presence were redesigned and converted to WordPress (by Denis Anuschewski and others).
