The areas of strength of these resources are considered: the possibility of forming an analyzed data array [one source, a group of sources (which can be formed with account of different parameters), all sources], the selection of lexical units following on from various formal and informative features, grammatical, lexical and semantic and functional stylistic characteristics, usability, etc. A broad spectrum of heuristic data can be obtained as a result of a comparative analysis of data from different language directories.
