Urimalsaem

Urimalsaem is an online, open source, and collaborative Korean language dictionary. While any user can edit the dictionary, registered users review proposed edits before they are displayed on the website. Reviewers are generally lexicographers or linguists, who not only approve words, but remove duplicate definitions and formalize terms. This differentiates it from the similar Naver Open Dictionary (NOD), which allows for multiple duplicate entries with casual definitions, like the Western website Urban Dictionary. == History and analysis ==

It was launched on October 5, 2016, with an initial set of 1,109,722 headwords. Previously, this kind of information was captured using an automatic tool that analyzed news articles, but the tool had relatively low accuracy and numerous false positives. Urimalsaem is relatively unique among Korean dictionaries (even when compared to Naver Open Dictionary) in how many North Korean and archaic words that it captures. == See also ==
