Num artigo intitulado "The Forefront of Lexicography: User-Generated Dictionaries" o sítio TKBR-think.u.bator expõe o conceito de "dicionário criado pelo usuário" para explicar o seu fundamento e o que já está a ser feito.

"Not only do they [the user-generated dictionaries] provide users a venue to create and define new words, but also to voice their opinions on social trends. Mimicking the kind of interaction that occurs on online chatboards and forums, users are also able to respond to one another's entries and are able to exert a form of quality control through a rating system. Taking advantage of the dynamic nature of the Internet, the Urban Dictionary has added to lexicography an element of dynamism: definitions are pluralistic and open to reinterpretation by every user. Moving away from the traditional role of reference works as sources of static information and into a participatory activity, it might be said that user-generated dictionaries are reinventing the very nature of dictionaries themselves."
