Abstract
The paper outlines the language documentation platform VICAV which pools information on spoken varieties of contemporary Arabic. It gives a general outline of VICAV’s background and its scope, touches on a number of methodological issues concerning the text-technological setup and discusses conceptual questions focusing on aspects of eLexicography, in particular on practical issues dealing with digital data and tools used to build it. The paper explains in detail the involved language resources and deals with issues pertaining to standards, formats and interoperability. Ample detail is furnished on tools developed as part of VICAV’s evolution, in particular the dictionary editor and the web-interface. The paper is based on the presentation given at OLT in December 2019 in Salzburg and has been supplemented with information on recent developments achieved in the course of 2020
