Unwrapping the question about e-lex

E-lex stands for electronic lexicography. Well, what is lexicography? Sure enough, it has to do with the activities of people who are lexicographers. Who has never yet heard near-unbelievable accounts of how productive some skilled lexicographers made it into the annals of history, as did the North American semiotician Charles S. Peirce, who defined roughly six thousand specialized terms and also served as a contributing editor for another ten thousand entries or so of the Century Dictionary (Hargraves 2019, 33)?
The world of lexicography shows signs of being rather intricate: authors write entries, editors may edit their entries, others may coordinate the interaction with or between authors and editors, while possibly also compiling the entries to be published, composing the layout of the publications or managing the web pages, designing, programming, preparing audio and video material, and always, of course, there may be those who make use of the dictionaries for studying, working or just for fun... It seems that this list could be endless.
It suffices to get started by thinking very cursorily of dictionaries. Dictionaries are like hats: there are plenty of them (and of lots of types). What, therefore, should be the way of thinking about dictionaries? The sky seems to be the limit. Either from a market angle or from the standpoint of communication, for instance, dictionaries can be regarded by their target audience (consumers, readers or users), and one can pose the question of whether they were compiled for a given group of people, be they native speakers of a particular language or foreigners learning it; those who master this or that field of expertise or lovers of the culture more generally; those who work in a certain industry; jazz enthusiasts; teenagers; elders; so on and so forth (you name it).
Dictionaries can be further discussed by asking how the work was put together, namely: what methods governed the development and completion of such or such lexicographical work? What tools were utilized? We can also look at dictionaries by asking ourselves how such a work was put together: what methods were employed to bring a lexicographic publishing venture to fruition? What tools were used? Which standards were followed in compiling por writing and editing the entries? How much investment of time and money was involved? But then again, what is lexicography all about? Lexicography is about the doing and the benefiting of the results of the work done by lexicographers.
A lexicographer's job to put together dictionaries, defining words, and perhaps reviewing and editing media and contents. It perhaps also to investigate meaning, language in particular, the history of the field of lexicography, its thematic objects, related disciplines, and inner growth and territorial dominions, as well as to come up with methodological advances, to worry about the design of the dictionaries, the ways of evaluating and making use of lexicographical works, the target readership or consumers (the latter may buy dictionaries without ever using them) and how they might be sold or made available. E-lex, in turn, can best be described as the lexicographical undertakings that are pursued or whose results are being exploited through the use of electronic devices.
