6 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, I present an original method to merge several dictionaries in such a way that all the informative flelds become semantically consistent. This need comes from an expansion method for QA, which uses as enrichment only the synonyms, derivatives, and taxonomy that match the sense determined by a semantic disambiguator. The method to share out information is particular for each kind of enrichment. An analysis of the experienced problems shows the interest of the method, and insists on the points that still have to be tackled.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> In a more general perspective, it is known that no perfect dictionary exists. Each dictionary used bythis methodhas gaps. The method used to mix information is flltering data from extra dictionaries by data from a reference dictionary, but errors in the reference are passed on to the added data. The right solution should be to use more than one reference dictionary.</Paragraph>
