richly structured information such as dictionary content, and
conversely this well-structured storage of the information
enables innovative browsing interfaces. We demonstrated this
previously with the development of Kirrkirr, a web-based
application that allows users to interactively explore a
Warlpiri (a Central Australian language) dictionary in XML
format. Two key design issues are customised presentation, and
efficient access. The greater the level of customisation, the
broader range of users Kirrkirr can accommodate.
