LREP: A Language Repository Exchange Protocol

Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2002)

Abstract

The recent increase in the number and complexity of the language resources available on the Internet is followed by a similar increase of available tools for linguistic analysis. Ideally the user does not need to be confronted with the question in how to match tools with resources. If resource repositories and tool repositories offer adequate metadata information and a suitable exchange protocol is developed this matching process could beperformed (semi-) automatically.
