Online Resource

1000Dictionaries is an online resource that offers a tremendous amount of resources well organized in different categories. Though the look and design of the site leave something to be desired, the sheer amount of information selected and organized there is very useful.

Enjoy an abundance of links to many interesting subjects from the old Soulis.com Web site as well as online dictionaries, glossaries and encyclopaedias, and more.

1000 Dictionaries list an amazing amount of selected dictionary resources in the following categories:

Business
Chemistry
Chinese
Computer
Dream
Encyclopedias
English
Food
French
German
Italian
Japanese
Latin
Legal
Medical
Music
Rhyming
Russian
Slang
Spanish

Additionally it has an interesting list of online resources on:
FREE ONLINE TRANSLATIONS
Online Calculators
Online Glossaries

Apparently the author has gathered an enormous amount of resources through simple Google searches, and he has then pruned, edited, filtered and selected the most fitting ones.

An appropriate approach to create rapidly a fast meta-catalog of content in any field.

Bravo.
