Nederlab, online laboratory for humanities research on Dutch text collections

Summary

A user-friendly and tool-enriched open access web interface that aims at containing all digitized texts relevant for the Dutch national heritage and the history of Dutch language and culture (c. 800 - present).

Background

The Nederlab project aims to bring together all digitized texts relevant to Dutch national heritage, the history of Dutch language and culture (c. 800 -present) in one user-friendly and tool-enriched open access web interface, allowing scholars to simultaneously search and analyze data from texts spanning the full recorded history of the Netherlands, its language and culture. The project builds on various initiatives: for corpora Nederlab collaborates with the scientific libraries and institutions, for infrastructure with CLARIN (and CLARIAH), for tools with eHumanities programmes such as Catch, IMPACT and CLARIN (TICCL, frog).

Nederlab offers a large number of search options with which researchers can find the occurrence of a particular term in a particular corpus or subcorpus. It also offers visualization of search results through line graphs, bar graphs, circle graphs, or scatter graphs. Furthermore, this online lab will offer a large set of tools, like tokenization tools, tools for spelling normalization, PoS-tagging tools , lemmatization tools, a computational historical lexicon and indices. Also, the use of (semi-) automatic syntactic parsing, tools for text mining, data mining and sentiment mining, Named Entity Recognition tools, coreference resolution tools, plagiarism detection tools, paraphrase detection tools and cartographical tools is offered

The first version of Nederlab was launched in early 2015, it’ll be expanded until the end of 2017. Nederlab is financed by NWO, KNAW, CLARIAH and CLARIN-NL.

Cornetto Data

root — Sun, 25 Jan 2015 17:49:32 +0000

Cornetto: Combinatorial and Relational Network as Toolkit for Dutch Language Technology

Summary

The data used in the Cornetto lexical resource (92K lemma's and almost 120K word meanings) are not available anymore. The best alternative data set is the Open Dutch WordNet. This data set consists of 116.992 synsets, form which 95.356 from WordNet 3.0.

Background

Open Source Dutch WordNet is a Dutch lexical semantic database. It was created by removing the proprietary content from Cornetto (http://dev.clarin.nl/node/1944) , and by using open source resources to replace this proprietary content. Open Source Dutch WordNet contains 116,992 synsets, of which 95,356 originate from WordNet 3.0 and 21,636 synsets are new synsets. The number of English synsets without Dutch synonyms is 60,743, which means that 34,613 WordNet 3.0 synsets have been filled with at least one Dutch synonym.

This project has been co-funded by the Nederlandse Taalunie (http://taalunie.org/).The Nederlandse TaalUnie and the Free University of Amsterdam share the ownership of Open Source Dutch WordNet.

GrNe: Greek-Dutch dictionary

Summary

Online dictionary (ancient) Greek - Dutch for the letter Pi. The developers estimate that a complete version of the dictionary will be finished by the end of 2015 and that it will be published by the end of 2016.

Background

A new dictionary ancient Greek - Dutch is currently under construction at Leiden University. The dictionary is being financed through the 2010 Spinoza award of project director Ineke Sluiter. For now only the letter Pi is available in the dictionary. The developers estimate that a complete version of the dictionary will be finished by the end of 2015 and that it will be published by the end of 2016.
The corpus that is being covered by this dictionary covers Greek literature from its beginnings (Homer) and consists of ca. 3.680.000 words (tokens); it includes all classical authors from the 5th and 4th centuries BCE, and a selection of later Greek (selection based on the likelihood that the text will be used by our target groups), but all of the New Testament, Lucian and Plutarch. The dictionary will eventually contain ca. 52.500 headwords. It is based on a thorough comparison of state of the art dictionaries, supplemented with the help of the material from the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae.
Greek morphology is complicated. In order to use a dictionary effectively, a rather high level of initial language competence is necessary for the user to be able to relate the word-form s/he finds in a text to the correct basic lemma form, where the definition of the word can be found. This digital dictionary however has an added ‘lemmatizer’ function, which enables the user to type in the word as found in the text and to be redirected to the correct lemma. The digital resource enables both Greek-Dutch searches and searches for the possible Greek equivalents of Dutch terms. This also makes it possible to explore the relation of semantic fields in Dutch and Greek. E.g., it is possible to locate all Greek words that have ‘courage’ as part of their definition. Furthermore, the digital resource makes it possible to locate different Greek words with the same etymological roots. And finally, the dictionary is linked to the website of the University of Chicago, where a comparison of all Greek-x dictionaries is supported. Here, one can enter a Greek word and be provided with the equivalents and definitions in all the dictionaries that are linked on this website.

DUELME Data

DUELME: Dutch Electronic Lexicon of Multiword Expressions

Summary

DUELME is an electronic lexicon that contains more than 5,000 Dutch multiword expressions (MWEs). The DUELME lexicon is suitable for theoretical research on multiword expressions as well as for use in NLP systems. Multiword expressions with similar syntactic patterns are grouped in equivalence classes. Semantic restrictions on variable arguments are encoded. A search interface for this database is available here

Background

DuELME (Dutch Electronic Lexicon of Multiword Expressions) is one of the results of the project Identification and Representation of Multiword Expressions (IRME) and contains lexical descriptions of over 5,000 multiword expressions (MWEs). The lexical descriptions boast to be highly theory- and implementation-neutral. The lexicon is primarily intended for the use in various NLP systems.
The DuELME-LMF project has been carried out within the CLARIN-NL programme. It is based on the IRME project funded by STEVIN and hosted by the INL. If you wish to obtain the complete lexicon in XML format, please contact the the Dutch-Flemish HLT Agency (TST-Centrale); an initiative of the Dutch Language Union.
