An on-line data category registry for linguistic resource management
Résumé
This document, consisting in an infomral merging of papers by Nancy Ide et al. and actual work done in the INTERA project, describes the principles and technical framework for deploying an international data category registry (DCR) in the domain of language resources. We demonstrate the potential usages of data categories for modelling linguistic representations and annotation schemes and describe mechanisms for localizing the descriptive content of data categories. To exemplify the use of these mechanisms, we demonstrate their application to the IMDI metadata set in the context of the Intera project. We also show the first implementation of an on-line environment that implements the DCR and is currently available to ISO sub-communities to register their own practices before being widely deployed under the auspices of ISO committee TC 37.
