The dataset Ælfrician Vocabulary, created by Amos van Baalen, is a set of Linked Data annotations that adhere to the Web Annotation standard of W3C; the annotations reference the IRIs of A Thesaurus of Old English (see here). The dataset can be browsed as a textual thesaurus within the web application Evoke.
The Linked Data annotations were made manually in Evoke (developed by Sander Stolk). The lemmata that formed the basis for this dataset were primarily extracted from the Dictionary of Old English:

This dataset is a collective effort. I would like to thank student assistant Lucas Gahrmann, for his assistance with a substantial number of the Linked Data annotations; Thijs Porck, for his help with categorising the data; and Sander Stolk, whose web application Evoke made this dataset possible. All mistakes and inconsistencies are my own.
