Karp is Språkbanken's platform for the development and editing of lexical data, or more generally, formally structured data.It provides functionality for data exploration, such as support for searching, browsing, and compiling, together with support for versioned, collaborative editing.It also provides methodological support, such as data prediction, data decision support, and data validation.In this chapter we focus on how the work on the two dictionaries SO and SAOL at the University of Gothenburg is carried out in Karp, and describe the methodological support that is currently under development for SO and SAOL, such as support for formal verification, neologism detection, data-driven lexical entry generation, and empirical anchoring of lexical information.
