Abstract OLISSIPO (Omnis Latinitatis Instrumentum Secundum Scholarum Instructionis Propositum Ordinatum) is a prototype developed by the Centro de Estudos Clássicos of the University of Lisbon and the Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale of CNR in Pisa, thanks to a common research project in the framework of the scientific agreement between the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR - Italy) and the Gabinete de Relações Internacionais da Ciência e Ensino Superior (GRICES - Portugal). OLISSIPO extracts lists of basic vocabulary from any Latin text and displays them together with linguistic and extra-linguistic information stored in a database. It contains other functionalities, such as statistical analysis, search of words in the text, displaying of the context, search of words in the database (which can be used as a dictionary).The LECTIO project has also been carried out by the Centro de Estudos Clássicos of the University of Lisbon and the Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale of CNR in Pisa. Designed to be a follow-up of OLISSIPO, it aims at producing a prototype for analysis of Latin texts with more functionalities. The final result will be an open tool to be used both in teaching/learning and in scientific research.
