Overview of our activity
This
volunteer project aims to develop wrappers that wrap language resources
and language processing functions available on the Internet into web
services that implement language grid standard interfaces.
Currently, language resources (e.g., dictionaries and
parallel texts) or language processing functions (e.g., machine
translations and morphological analysis) have been developed
individually. By wrapping them into web services that implement the
language grid interface those services will be available on a language
grid and users can combine them to create new language services
suitable for their own activities.
To collect know-how on wrapping, our project members
are currently developing libraries and templates needed for wrapping,
and also edited wrapping manuals. In the future,
we will develop a wrapping-supporting environment to further assist
people using the integrated set of these libraries and templates.
Furthermore, we are considering a system that allows volunteers to
publish their wrappers on a shared web service server.
Our project is planning to release the list of the language
resources and language processing functions for which we are authorized
to act as the licenser's agent. We also plan to raise the profile of
wrapping and accelerate our program for recruiting volunteers. We have
set an immediate goal of wrapping 100 resources by the end of this
fiscal year.
As mentioned earlier, we are developing an environment that
will allow volunteers to concentrate on wrapping thus making language
resources and language processing functions into web services. We will
also promote the growth of the language grid.
How to join us
We are looking for volunteers who are interested in workflows.
If you'd like to join our activity, please contact "contact at wrapping.langrid.org".
- Our main activities are as follows: (preferable skills)
- - Searching language resources on the Internet (English reading)
- - Implementing wrappers (Java programming)
- - wrinting documents (English reading/writing)
Documents
The up-to-date manual that are applicable for general wrapping activity is now available on the Language Grid Developers' Wiki.
(Currently, only Japanese manual is available, but English version will be provided in the future. Stay tuned.).
