201have the same number and type of actants as violate 2 and infringe 2 (and not as violate 1 andinfringe 1 ), this indicating that we are indeed dealing with two different clusters of instancesthat share enough common features to justify being treated as separate ―meaning groups‖(Atkins et al. 2003: 334 citing Hanks (2000) and Kilgarriff (1997)).For all these reasons, we believe that the terms comply 2 , exceed 1 , infringe 1 , andviolate 1 evoke a frame in which a PROTAGONIST or his/her behaviour (ACT) complies or notwith the LAW. This frame called [Compliance] contains two core FEs: the first one can beexpressed as ACT or as PROTAGONIST, the second one is only expressed by entitiesdenoting the LAW. Finally, all four terms profile the core FEs in the same way: it is thePROTAGONIST or the ACT that complies, violates, exceeds or infringes the LAW and not theother way round.4.3.7. Data encodingAll data elements described in the previous sections were encoded in a database calledDiCoInfo that includes several dictionaries. The data was encoded by means of the XMLEditor called oXygen that stores it in the webserver eXist. oXygen is a freely available toolfor students and researchers at the Université de Montréal that offers a number of featuresfor editing XML documents. One of the advantages of this tool is that it allows documentsto be checked for proper XML form as well as validated against a schema. The dataencoding model is strongly inspired by that of the DiCoInfo (L‘Homme 2008), the firstdictionary of the collection, but it also makes adaptations to the specific requirements of theproject.The DiCoInfo encoding model comprises the following layers of information: termentry, grammatical information, definition, domain, actantial structure, variants, synonyms,linguistic occurrences of the actants, lexical relations, contexts, annotated contexts,
