• Description: In this paper, we present the new wordnet development tool called DEBVisDic. It is built on the recently developed platform for client-server XML databases, called DEB II. This platform is able to cover many possible applications, from which we concentrate on the new, complete reimplementation of one of the most-spread wordnet editor and browser - VisDic. We argue for the benefits the new DEB II platform brings to wordnet editing and to XML databases in general. In the paper, we describe the state of the implementation, the insides and interfaces of the DEBVisDic tool. We also discuss its functionality and some distinctions in comparison with other dictionary writing systems.
