Linghub: a Linked Data based portal supporting the discovery of language resources.
John Philip McCrae, Philipp Cimiano · 2015
Language resources are an essential component of any natural language processing system and such systems can only be applied to new languages and domains if appropriate resources can be found. Currently the task of finding new language resources for a particular task or application is complicated by the fact that records about such resources are stored in different repositories with different models, different quality and search mechanisms. To remedy this situation, we present Linghub, a new portal that aggregates and indexes data from a range of sources and repositories and applied the Linked Data Principles to expose all the metadata under a common interface. Furthermore, we use faceted browsing and SPARQL queries to show how this can help to answer real user problems extracted from a mailing list for linguists.
