[open-linguistics] Creation of a joint linguistic LOD cloud

Thu Nov 3 16:31:57 UTC 2011

Well you can certainly have MASC, which is 500K words of American English with annotation for all the basics (token, sentence, logical, POS/lemma) plus shallow parse and named entities, and includes some portions annotated for FrameNet frames, PropBank propositions, Wordnet senses, Penn Treebank syntax (all will be annotated for PTB in a few months), and a few others. It is in GrAF format, but we have a GrAF to RDF transducer (and a GrAF to CONLL, GrAF to XML, as well as modules to import GrAF into GATE, UIMA, and NLTK. 

It is freely downloadable from http://www.anc.org/MASC -- at the moment only the first 82K have validated annotations but the rest are shortly to be released.

The data is very clean--all manually validated.

Could you please send an email a) confirming your participation and b) listing the kind of resources you will provide? People not present at the meeting are of course welcome to join in now.
