In this article, we will describe the different steps in the construction of EPEC (Reference Corpus for the Processing of Basque). EPEC is a corpus of standard written Basque thatc has been manually tagged at different levels (morphology, surface syntax, phrases) and is currently being hand-tagged at deep syntax level following the Dependency Structure-based Scheme. It is aimed to be a "reference" corpus for the development and improvement of several NLP tools for Basque. This corpus has already been used for the construction of some tools such as a morphological analyser, a lemmatiser, or a shallow syntactic analyser.
