ABSTRACT

An interactive website is an internet page that uses various codes to create
an interactive experience that allows a person viewing the web page to be actively
engaged with the site. An interactive web site consists of two parts, i.e. the client
browser and the server-side system. The client browser contains components that
are directly accessed by the user, while the server-side system contains data and
application that manage them at the computer server.
This writing describes the result of a final project that creates an
interactive web application to display dictionary and thesaurus in bahasa
Indonesia, and administering the knowledge base. Administrative tasks include
the addition, modification and deletion of Indonesian phrases, phrase definitions,
phrase relationshisp and synsets. The focus of this application is to speed up the
task of administration. The application employs JQuery so that a user may use
drag and drop mode to annotate relationship of phrases and definitions during
the creation of synsets.
46 students from Department of Bahasa Indonesia has tested the
application and they suggest that in general this application is work so good.

From the questionnaire knows that application can helpful and simply in adding
