Material Philology Meets Digital Onomastic Lexicography - The NordiCon Database of Medieval Nordic Personal Names in Continental Sources.

We present NordiCon, a database containing medieval Nordic personal names attested in Continental sources. The database combines formally interpreted and richly interlinked onomastic data with digitized versions of the medieval manuscripts from which the data originate and information on the tokens' context. The structure of NordiCon is inspired by other online historical given name dictionaries. It takes up challenges reported on in previous works, such as how to cover material properties of a name token and how to define lemmatization principles, and elaborates on possible solutions. The lemmatization principles for NordiCon are further developed in order to facilitate the linking to other name dictionaries and corpora, and the integration of the database into Sprakbanken Text, an infrastructure containing modern and historical written data.
