OmegaWiki is a translating multilingual dictionary based on a relational database. Previous names included WiktionaryZ (WZ) and Ultimate Wiktionary (UW). The first steps towards "OmegaWiki" date back to August 30, 2004 when on the Italian Wiktionary the first templates were inserted. These templates then served to permit a fast exchange of complete lists of words from one Wiktionary to the other. At that point, two Wiktionarians from the Italian and the Dutch Wiktionary started to talk about methods of utilizing Wiktionarians' time more efficiently. It was clear that copying and pasting these lists from one language Wiktionary to another was inefficient and error-prone, while increasing the amount of time needed to make corrections. With separate Wiktionaries, the probability that a particular translation list would be out of sync with another version of the same list increased exponentially with each language Wiktionary added. The logical consequence was to think about inserting this data into a common place. A project with the work name "Ultimate Wiktionary" took its first steps. By December 2004 the basic functionalities were clear: an extension for the MediaWiki software, building on the Wikidata project. During the following year, when the programming of the software had already started, still many changes to the database design were made and more peculiarities of languages like Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Russian and also sign language were considered, some of these thanks to various contacts during Wikimania 2005 in Frankfurt. Unlike the original Wiktionaries, OmegaWiki will allow for the download of data, particularly for reuse with other software. For example, software Computer assisted translation (CAT), dictionary software on a local computer and spellcheckers. The prototype started including only the data of gemet〔(Themes list ) eionet, visited 15-7-2013〕 multilingual thesaurus is online. This resource is considered to be an optimal collection of terminology to test functions with. Presently, the software is still considered in alpha stage, but it already had more than 500 users (as of 30 August 2006), and has reached 250,000 Expressions, with support for multiple Collections, annotations, examples, hyphenation, etc. ==Basic concepts== OmegaWiki is not based on "words", but on the concept of Defined Meaning:〔(DefinedMeaning - OmegaWiki )〕
