</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Electronic dictionaries come into two distinct flavours: digital sources of dictionaries and encyclopedia, meant for human usage, and lexical databases, developed for computational linguistics needs. There is little interaction between the two forms, mostly for sociological reasons.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> We shall argue, in this communication, that a lexical database may be used for both purposes, to mutual advantage. We base our thesis on a concrete experiment on the design of linguistics resources for the Sanskrit language.</Paragraph>
