[open-linguistics] LLOD diagram draft

> Btw. I think grammars should also be included in the LLOD diagram.

As for the second part of your suggestion, to include grammars to this  
category: First thing I thought of was that all we could reasonably  
integrate about grammars would be their metadata, at best (as we already  
have: the "information about language resources" includes bibliographical  
data), but thinking about it a little more, there actually *could* be  
machine-readable representations of syntax rules from SWRL-based NLP  
parsers that constitute an actual formalization of a grammar. I'm not  
aware of any, but I remember an old paper by Graham Wilcock on HPSG  
parsing with ontologies where he proposed just that  
(http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~gwilcock/Pubs/2006/RuleML-06.pdf). I am not  
sure whether this line of research is actively pursued at the moment, but  
if a rule set would be available, this would might be a reason to add a  
"grammar" sub-category.

Best,
Christian
