Abstract: In this paper we describe the implementation of the latest solutions and improvements in the largest Latvian online dictionary Tēzaurs.The solutions include the continuously expanding Latvian WordNet, a new derivation resource within the WordNet, an updated system of in-gloss lexeme references, and improved guidelines for virtual links for better navigation between different elements of the dictionary.The derivation resource, which is currently underway, includes morphological and semantic information and reflects the complex derivation process in the Latvian language; we expect that it will prove especially useful for studying the theoretical and practical aspects of Latvian morphology and semantics.Virtual and in-gloss links, on the other hand, improve the usability and navigability of Tēzaurs through the use of, e.g., anchor links and automatically generated links to corpora examples, providing the users with a broader overview of their queries.Thus, improvements are being made on various levels of the Tēzaurs structure to meet the needs of an increasingly digitized research and study environment.
