The work was based on using the new IMDI version 3.0.3 which is a result of experiences with the earlier version and new requirements coming from the involved partners. Language resource distribution centers such as ELDA have the opportunity to use and add to this metadata infrastructure and use it to enhance their catalogue and offer more services to their customers such as offering data samples and download of partial corpora .This document sumarizes mainly experiences done in the project INTERA. schema.

  • Standardisation Action Plan for Clarin
    Standardisation Action Plan for Clarin State: Proposal to CLARIN community Nuria Bel, Jonas Beskow, Lou Boves, Gerhard Budin, Nicoletta Calzolari, Khalid Choukri, Erhard Hinrichs, Steven Krauwer, Lothar Lemnitzer, Stelios Piperidis, Adam Przepiorkowski, Laurent Romary, Florian Schiel, Helmut Schmidt, Hans Uszkoreit, Peter Wittenburg August 2009 Summary This document describes a proposal for a Standardisation Action Plan (SAP) for the Clarin initiative in close synchronization with other relevant initiatives such as Flarenet, ELRA, ISO and TEI. While Flarenet is oriented towards a broader scope since it is also addressing standards that are typically used in industry, CLARIN wants to be more focussed in its statements to the research domain. Due to the overlap it is agreed that the Flarenet and CLARIN documents on standards need to be closely synchronized. This note covers standards that are generic (XML, UNICODE) as well as standards that are domain specific where naturally the LRT community has much more influence. This Standardization Action Plan wants to give an orientation for all practical work in CLARIN to achieve a harmonized domain of language resources and technology stepwise and therefore its core message is to overcome fragmentation. To meet these goals it wants to keep its message as simple as possible. A web-site will be established that will contain more information about examples, guidelines, explanations, tools, converters and training events such as summer schools. The organization of the document is as follows: • Chapter 1: Introduction to the topic. • Chapter 2: Recommended standards that CLARIN should endorse page 4 • Chapter 3: Standards that are emerging and relevant for CLARIN page 8 • Chapter 4: General guidelines that need to be followed page 12 • Chapter 5: Reference to community practices page 14 • Chapter 6: References This document tries to be short and will give comments, recommendations and discuss open issues for each of the standards.

  • A Multi-View Hyperlexicon Resource for Speech and Language System Development
    A multi-view hyperlexicon resource for speech and language system development Dafydd Gibbon, Thorsten Trippel Fakult¨at f¨ur Linguistik und Literaturwissenschaft Universit¨at Bielefeld Postfach 100 131, D–33501 Bielefeld, Germany gibbon, ttrippel @spectrum.uni-bielefeld.de Abstract New generations of integrated multimodal speech and language systems with dictation, readback or talking face facilities require multiple sources of lexical information for development and evaluation. Recent developments in hyperlexicon development offer new perspectives for the development of such resources which are at the same time practically useful, computationally feasible, and theoretically well– founded. We describe the specification, three–level lexical document design principles, and implementation of a MARTIF document structure and several presentation structures for a terminological lexicon, including both on demand access and full hypertext lexicon compilation. The underlying resource is a relational lexical database with SQL querying and access via a CGI internet interface. This resource is mapped on to the hypergraph structure which defines the macrostructure of the hyperlexicon. 1.

  • ESFRI / E-IRG Report on Data Management, January 2010
    e-IRG Report on Data Management Data Management Task Force November 2009 1 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A fundamental paradigm shift known as Data Intensive Science is quietly changing the way science and research in most disciplines is being conducted. While the unprecedented capacities of new research instruments and the massive computing capacities needed to handle their outputs occupy the headlines, the growing importance and changing role of data is rarely noticed. Indeed it seems the only hints to this ever burgeoning issue are mentions of heights of hypothetical stacks of DVDs when illustrating massive amounts of ”raw, passive fuel” for science. However, a shift from a more traditional methodology to Data Intensive Science – also sometimes recognized as the 4th Research Paradigm – is happening in most scientific areas and making data an active component in the process. This shift is also subtly changing how most research is planned, conducted, communicated and evaluated. This new paradigm is based on access and analysis of large amounts of new and existing data. This data can be the result of work of multiple groups of researchers, working concurrently or independently without any partnership to the researchers that originally gathered the information. Use of data by unknown parties for purposes that were not initially anticipated creates a number of new chal- lenges related to overall data management. Long-term storage, curation and certification of the data are just the tip of the iceberg. So called Digital Data Deluge, for example, caused by the ease with which large quantities of new data can be created, becomes much more difficult to deal with in this new environment.

EL PRESIDENTE LOS VOCALES EL SECRETARIO iii iv Abstract Current well-known methodologies for building ontologies do not consider the reuse and possible subsequent re-engineering of existing knowledge resources. The ontologization of non-ontological resources has led to the design of several specific methods, techniques and tools. These are mainly specific to a particular resource type, or to a particular resource implementation. Thus, everytime ontol- ogy engineers are confronted with the task of re-engineering a new resource into an ontology, they develop ad-hoc solutions for transforming such resource into a single ontology. Within the context of the NeOn project, we propose a novel methodology for building ontology networks: the NeOn Methodology, a methodology based on sce- narios. One

    Accessibility of Multilingual Terminological Resources - Current Problems and Prospects for the Future Gerhard Budin*, Alan K. Melby# * University of Vienna Department of Translation and Interpretation, 1190 Vienna, Austria <[email protected]> # Brigham Young University Department of Linguistics, Provo, Utah, USA <[email protected]> Abstract In this paper we analyse the various problems in making multilingual terminological resources available to users. Different levels of diversity and incongruence among such resources are discussed. Previous standardization efforts are reviewed. As a solution to the lack of co-ordination and compatibility among an increasing number of ‘standard’ interchange formats, a higher level of integration is proposed for the purpose of terminology-enabled knowledge sharing. The family of formats currently being developed in the SALT project is presented as a contribution to this solution. On all these levels, quite a number of standards have 1.
