Multilingual Content Processing
Gregor Thurmair · 2004
This contribution describes the consequences of a multilingual set-up, as used in internet information gathering, search and content processing, for the architecture and the different components of such a system.First the scenario is briefly outlined; then the existing technology components are reviewed, with the focus of the effects of multilingual content to such components.Finally, the linguistic resources are discussed which form the backbone of such a multifunctional and multilingual system.It is shown that adding multilinguality to an information system has massive consequences for the design of all system components and resources.
