Software Infrastructure for Language Resources: a Taxonomy of Previous Work and a Requirements Analysis
Hamish Cunningham, Kalina Bontcheva, Valentin Tablan, Yorick Alexander Wilks · 2000
This paper presents a taxonomy of previous work on infrastructures, architectures and development environments for representing and processing Language Resources (LRs), corpora, and annotations.This classification is then used to derive a set of requirements for a Software Architecture for Language Engineering (SALE).The analysis shows that a SALE should address common problems and support typical activities in the development, deployment, and maintenance of LE software.The results will be used in the next phase of construction of an infrastructure for LR production, distribution, and access.
