Hi Ada good to hear from you, The project is called: "The Bridge". https://bridge.haverford.edu/ I am not the PI. The project has been in existence for about 12 years. I was invited to become involved through my Drexel LEADING Fellowship. Here is a paper we published this summer: https://hughandbecky.us/Hugh-CV/publication/2023-bridging-corpora/4LR_pre_print.pdf
The Bridge is a linked data application supporting curriculum development. It was developed with Latin in mind, but has been extended to Greek as well. It quickly helps instructors and students find new vocabulary words in newly assigned texts, based on texts they have already encountered in their curriculum. The current workflow takes a variety of texts from several sources and then stores the lemmas for comparison across texts and broad stats generation. I see value in modeling the whole text not just the lemmas as this may allow future services. So, while NIF could model the whole text, the current operational activities really only involve using lemmas. To move forward in a linked data model we need to support current operations. More broadly, I see the lemmas as an "annotation" or abstraction layer whereas I would see the actual content of texts as the "source data". Using linked data and lemmas allows the bridge to connect via lemmas to LiLa data. https://lila-erc.eu/ Kind regards, Hugh On Tue, Oct 10, 2023 at 3:39 AM Ada Wan <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Hugh > > What project are you working on that still requires lemmatization?
