[open-linguistics] Linguistic relevance

Wed Jan 14 13:34:10 UTC 2015

Dear all,

to define which data sets are to be included in the LLOD cloud has been a  
standing issue for quite a while and I would like to thank Bettina for  
creating a wiki page under  
http://wiki.okfn.org/Wg/linguistics/llod-categories#Proposals. At the  
moment, we have three proposals, an extensional definition by Lupe, an  
intensional definition by Bettina and an attempt for a compromise by me.

As discussed today in the telco, we plan to come to terms with this  
definition as soon as possible, so, please have a look on the proposed  
definitions for "linguistically relevant" datasets, add your own or  
express your opinion about an existing one before *the next telco* (Feb  
18th, 12:15 CET). At this telco, we will discuss a decision procedure to  
implemented thereafter.

As a reminder, the goal is to come up with an *operational* definition  
that provides criteria to justify the inclusion of non-linguistic, but  
important data sets such as DBpedia or Yago into the LLOD cloud, but to  
eliminate clearly irrelevant resources, like, say, biomedical data bases.

Best,
Christian
