Valid Validations: bare basics and proven procedures
Henk van den Heuvel, Eric P. Sanders · 2006
Language resources (LRs) are essential for research and application development. In this article we outline relevant principles for LR validation. We argue that the best way to validate LR is to implement it all along the way of LR production and have it carried out by an external and experienced institute, so that this institute can help define the validation criteria in terms of LR specifications and tolerance margins. We address which tasks should be carried out by the validation institute, and which not. Further, a standard validation protocol is shown, illustrating how validation can prove its value all along the production phase in terms of prevalidation, full validation and pre-release validation. 1.
