EXILSEA: Exploiting ISOcat's Language Sections in ELAN and ANNEX

Summary

SignLinC: Linking lexical databases and annotated corpora of signed

Summary

The core of SignLinC consists of enhancements for LEXUS 3.0 and ELAN 4.0, both released at the start of 2011.

Background

Additions to ELAN include the following:

ARBIL is a data management tool with as its main function a flexible (IMDI/CMDI) metadata editor. It allows to choose an existing CMDI metadata schema/profile from the CMDI registry and create instantiations of that schema. The editor allows the use of tables and copy and paste to exchange information between the tables. ARBIL is ideally suited for situations where multiple different metadata schema are used. ARBIL needs to be installed on the local computer.

ISOcat is data category registry according to the ISO12620 model. It was chosen by CLARIN to serve as a semantic registry to overcome semantic interoperability issues with CMDI metadata and different annotation tag sets used for linguistic annotation.

The VLO is a faceted browser that shows the metadata records harvested from within the CLARIN joint metadata domain. Next to that it also shows part of the Language Resource metadata that can be harvested from the OLAC domain.

The CMDI Registry/Editor allows metadata modelers and editors to share and reuse CMDI metadata schema or build new ones (partly) based on previous work. CMDI is the metadata framework adopted by CLARIN.

Enhancement of the multimedia annotation tool ELAN and the accompanying ANNEX browser to create an appropriate multilayer visualization of multilayer collocates, that significantly expands the search options.
