The semantics of Chemical Markup Language (CML): dictionaries and conventions

The semantic architecture of CML consists of conventions, dictionaries and units. The conventions conform to a top-level specification and each convention can constrain compliant documents through machine-processing (validation). Dictionaries conform to a dictionary specification which also imposes machine validation on the dictionaries. Each dictionary can also be used to validate data in a CM...

From Machine Readable Dictionaries to Lexical Databases:

It is commonly held that machine-readable dictionaries play a key role in bootstrapping effective wide-coverage language-technology, especially in less well-resourced languages. However, while the linguistic knowledge they contain is clearly necessary for this goal, it is far from clear that the format it is presented in is sufficient to reach it. A crucial step in the deployment of such resour...

Towards machine-readable lexicons for South African Bantu languages

Lexical information for South African Bantu languages is not readily available in the form of machine-readable lexicons. At present the availability of lexical information is restricted to a variety of paper dictionaries. These dictionaries display considerable diversity in the organisation and representation of data. In order to proceed towards the development of reusable and suitably standard...
