Technology

An independent web application based on the MyCoRe function core was developed for the LexM. Data model, appearance and research options were adapted to the requirements of an online lexicon. The application is hosted at the Regional Computer Centre (RRZ) of the University of Hamburg.[http://www.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/de/services/weitere/dokumenten-management.html Dokumenten-Management am RRZ Hamburg], retrieved 15 November 2020
