Package Exports

@danskify/dictionary
@danskify/dictionary/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@danskify/dictionary) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

About

This package was created by the Danskify project https://danskify.com as part of an open-data initiative to provide accessible English–Danish vocabulary resources.

It converts and repackages the Wiktionary dataset originally compiled by
Matthias Buchmeier and contributors into a JSON format suitable for modern web applications.

Data processing and enhancements

This dataset is not a raw copy of the original Wiktionary export.The source English–Danish dictionary compiled by Matthias Buchmeier and other Wiktionary contributors was used as a starting point and then significantly refined by the Danskify project.

Processing steps include:

Data cleaning: removing malformed, duplicate, or incomplete entries.
Quality filtering: dropping low-confidence translations based on semantic similarity using Xenova/distiluse-base-multilingual-cased-v2.
Category pruning: excluding entries classified as article, interjection, abbreviation, prefix, suffix, and proverb.
Normalization: converting data from .txt to JSON, standardizing field names, and adding optional metadata (e.g., wordCount, form).

As a result, this dataset represents a curated derivative work of the Wiktionary material, not an official subset or mirror.
