Many specialised dictionaries covering different subjects are available on the Web. Individual terms (words, expressions) are described and explained using other terms from the dictionary. In this way a dictionary graph, which is above the terms, is determined. The ODLIS (Online Dictionary of Library and Information Science), freely available on the Web, is taken as an example. Different approaches related to the analysis of dictionary graphs are presented. Analyses of the dictionary have been carried out with the Pajek program.

Due to a large number of web devices and many end users, who want constant availability and quick responsiveness of applications, new approaches to computer programming are required.

The E-CRIS web applications representing research activities in countries that participate in the COBISS.Net system make it possible to access data in the XML format adjusted for communication among computers. Internal IZUM applications and different applications of scientific institutions access the data. In 2016, access to a wider data set in the JSON format was made possible.
