5. Conclusions 
In the paper we have discussed the development process of the dictionary of 
Uzbek names and surnames. The dictionary has been developed as a spreadsheet. The 
data included in the dictionary covers the names currently used in Uzbekistan, involving 
also the names resulting from inflection. 
The dictionary has been evaluated by a set of experiments. We have verified 
whether the information contained in the dictionary can be used to identify the names and 
surnames appearing in Uzbek texts. We have also checked whether the dictionary can 
support the task of spell-checking of the texts written in Uzbek, with respect 
to personal names. The experiments have shown that the dictionary can successfully aid 
both tasks.
In the future we plan to perform the experiments on larger sets of texts obtained 
from different sources. We also intend to check whether applying measures of text 
similarity, such as the edit distance, can help to improve the spell-checking process even 
further.
