Requirements for a dictionary editor/viewer

background

the openVirus project has created 8 new dictionaries which have a "fairly consistent" approach and which are used and will need maintenance. In addition there are a few builtin dictionaries which are used but not well maintained. We need to unify the (implicit) schema, (e.g. MUST have, SHOULD have, MAY have, Must NOT have), and the implicit structure.

current tools

The current ways of creation / editing (not all are widely used) are :

text editor

amidict create

amidict display

amidict transform

amidict update

constraints

size

Some dictionaries have 10000 entries

desirable features

Please add suggestions for desirable features. (Be realistic, no magic!). Be precise - you cannot assume that the developers will understand general phrases. Avoid "user friendly" - it's meaningless - instead try to list precisely what you would like.
