Abstract In this paper, we propose an automatic approach to convert electronic Arabic dictionaries of human (editorial) use into an LMF-ISO 24613 standardized model in order to benefit from the precious resources of Arabic language available as digitalization dictionaries on the Internet in different formats (i.e., word, txt, html). Our approach is composed of five steps (Identification of the markers, Definition of the kinds and the order of linguistic blocks, Macro segmentation, Micro segmentation, Mapping) that consider the noted diversities between Arabic dictionaries of human use such as the content, the macro structure and the micro structure. The proposed approach was validated by carrying out an experimentation on the Dictionary Al-Ghany. The content of the obtained standardized version of this dictionary was successfully queried using the ADIQTO system.
