Cloud Logic Programming for Integrating Language Technology Resources

Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2012)

Abstract

The main goal of the CLT Cloud project is to equip lexica, morphological processors, parsers and other software components developed within CLT (Centre of Language Technology) with so called web API:s, thus making them available on the Internet in the form of web services. We present a proof-of-concept implementation of the CLT Cloud server where we use the logic programming language Prolog for composing and aggregating existing web services into new web services in a way that encourages creative exploration and rapid prototyping of LT applications.
