The ACL Linked AnthologyA proposal for the ACL Exec Brett Powley (Macquarie Univ.)Min-Yen Kan (Nat’l. Univ. of S’pore) Powley and Kan
Our goal for the Linked Anthology • Provide full document metadata; • Interdocument links for all documents in the ACL Anthology; • open-source tools for automatically producing this data. Powley and Kan
In detail For each document, provide: • A canonical extracted text stream; • Metadata as BibTeX; • References extracted from the document and segmented into fields, as BibTeX; • Sentences with citations linked to the appropriate reference; • Links from each reference to the target document, iff in the Anthology. Powley and Kan
Timeline • Current: Informal collaboration to extract text with digital anthology (dAnth) mailing list • Initial (3-6 months): Consolidation of resources; • Intermediate (1-2 yrs): Consolidation of tools; • Sustainable (2-3 yrs): Automatic and web based tools. Powley and Kan
Value to the community Provide 3 clear benefits: • it will provide a corpus that can be used for ongoing research • it will provide a resource which will enhance everyday use of the Anthology • it will provide a focus point for consolidation of state-of-the-art research in bibliographic data processing. Powley and Kan
Novelty Why should we be doing this? We have Google Scholar, MS Libra, CiteSeer, Rexa and the ACL Anthology? Our answers: • A collaborative effort - over many participants • A standardized effort - testbeds for research, proposed tasks • Distributed results - mirrored worldwide, little support from ACL Exec Powley and Kan
