CLARIN-NL: Dealing with ISOcat Ineke Schuurman
ISOcat and CLARIN • Projects call 1 CLARIN-NL • Joint Flemish/Dutch pilot Whenever relevant, elements are to be defined in ISOcat (PoS, syntax, audio, coreference, …) Turned out to be rather problematic
ISoCat and CLARIN (2) More recent projects • Projects call 2, 3 … (Netherlands) • Call B-projects (Flanders) => Need for ISOcat-coordinator • Organisational issues (who is doing what) • Practical issues (workshops/tutorials, ‘help desk’, guidelines-booklet (do’s & don’ts)) • ISOcat issues (ISOcat being work-in-progress!)
ISOcat coordination Practical issues Series of workshops/tutorials (English) • At start: • introduction in ISOcat itself • Guidelines (do’s and don’ts) • After +/- 5 months • discussion of ISOcat issues in the respective projects
(cont.) Examples of “Do’s / don’ts”: • ‘General description’: should be language/theory/project neutral (don’t mention Dutch, HPSG, D-Coi) • Use note/explanation/language/linguistics sections for such remarks • Should not be too vague (‘empty’) => useless for CLARIN ! • Describe ALL ‘elements’ (also values, notions used in description, etc)
ISOcat issues (taken care of by Menzo Windhouwer) ISOcat: Work in progress => several kinds of technical issues Additions in pipeline: • RELcat: in need of mechanism to relate DCs (‘VNW’ , ‘pers’ == ‘personal pronoun’) • Search facilities (Google) • SCHEMAcat
Future We would like to collaborate with other CLARIN-groups in order to solve all kinds of ISOcat issues, so please contact me! ineke.schuurman@ccl.kuleuven.be
Near future [decided during the discussion after the ISOcat presentation] • CLARIN-NL will organize a new tutorial for the international CLARIN community in October 2011 • We will also make our “do’s and don’ts” guide available for the whole CLARIN community (September/October 2011)
