rmgroup in kanjidic2 DTD

[Martin Pfundmair]

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question about the kanjidic2 xml schema.

The DTD https://www.edrdg.org/kanjidic/kanjidic2_dtdh.html 

states that there could be multiple `rmgroup` elements in a `reading_meaning` element

 

to enable the handling of the situation where the meaning is differentiated by reading

I've searched the latest KanjiDic2 XML but came up empty for a kanji where that would actually be the case. Am I missing something or are there actually no current kanji with more than one `rmgroup`?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I wasn't able to find anything in the archives.

Btw, Is there a good way to search the archive at https://www.edrdg.org/jmdict_edict_list/ ?

My current way is using a google search with `site:` modifier like 

https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.edrdg.org%2Fjmdict_edict_list+kanji

Best regards,

Martin

Hi Martin and everyone.

That structure in the DTD is/was to allow for possible future
groupings of readings and meaning, e.g. for 生 aligning birth with う.まれ
and raw/fresh/etc. with なま. Unfortunately, the work towards that has
never been done, so kanjidic2.xml has them all in one group, as was
the case with the original kanjidic2.

Who knows - some enthusiastic volunteer might want to volunteer to do
the hard work of doing all that grouping.

Cheers

Jim

Thank you for the clarification, Jim!

Yes, that seems like a daunting task.
