Abstract:
The research goals of the project European Lexicographic Infrastructure – ELEXIS are concentrated on: developing strategies, instruments and standards for extracting, structuring and connecting of multilingual lexicographic resources; securing and popularising of the free access of lexicographic data; cooperation and exchange of knowledge between different research groups. Within the framework of the project is to build scientific infrastructure that will unite the research teams, who work in the field of lexicography, computational and corpus linguistics.
As a result from the execution of the project a main platform will be built for creating, sharing and using the language resources and technologies in the field of the lexicography and computational linguistics. Access will be secured to: existing and newly created lexicographic resources; instruments for conversion, harmonization and semantic comparison of multilanguage lexicographic data.
The value of the project is in several directions: increasing the quality and efficiency of the lexicographic work; providing current PC applications for lexicographic work; providing different multilingual lexicographic resources with application in the field of the scientific research, education, translation work, computational processing of the language.
The project is part of two of the priority areas of research at the Institute for Bulgarian Language: Academic Dictionaries of the Bulgarian Language and Electronic Language Resources and Tools for their Processing.
