Resource Grammar Implementations

+

+GF Resource Grammar Library is an open-source computational grammar resource +that currently covers 12 languages. +The Library is a collaborative effort to which programmers from many countries +have contributed. The next goal is to extend the library +to all of the 23 official EU languages. Also other languages +are welcome all the time. The following diagram show the current status of the +library. Each of the red and yellow ones are a potential project. +

+

+

+ +
+

+

+red=wanted, green=exists, orange=in-progress, solid=official-eu, dotted=non-eu +

+

+The linguistic coverage of the library includes the inflectional morphology +and basic syntax of each language. It can be used in GF applications +and also ported to other formats. It can also be used for building other +linguistic resources, such as morphological lexica and parsers. +The library is licensed under LGPL. +

+ +

Tasks

+

+Writing a grammar for a language is usually easier if other languages +from the same family already have grammars. The colours have the same +meaning as in the diagram above. Thus, in particular, each of the languages +coloured red below are possible programming projects. +

+

+Baltic: +

+ + +

+Celtic: +

+ + +

+Fenno-Ugric: +

+ + +

+Germanic: +

+ + +

+Hellenic: +

+ + +

+Romance: +

+ + +

+Semitic: +

+ + +

+Slavonic: +

+ + + +

Who is qualified

+

+Writing a resource grammar implementation requires good general programming +skills, and a good explicit knowledge of the grammar of the target language. +A typical participant could be +

+ + +

+But it is the quality of the assignment that is assessed, not any formal +requirements. The "typical participant" was described to give an idea of +who is likely to succeed in this. +

+ +

The Summer School

+

+A Summer School on resource grammars and applications will +be organized at the campus of Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, +Sweden, on 17-28 August 2009. It can be seen as a natural checkpoint in +a resource grammar project; the participants are assumed to learn GF before +the Summer School, but how far they have come in their projects may vary. +

+

+More information on the Summer School web page: +

+ +

Other project ideas

+ +

GF interpreter in Java

+

+The idea is to write a run-time system for GF grammars in Java. This enables +the use of embedded grammars in Java applications. This project is +a fresh-up of earlier work, +now using the new run-time format PGF and addressing a new parsing algorithm. +

+

+Requirements: Java, Haskell, basics of compilers and parsing algorithms. +

+ +

GF interpreter in C#

+

+The idea is to write a run-time system for GF grammars in C#. This enables +the use of embedded grammars in C# applications. This project is +similar to earlier work +on Java, now addressing C# and using the new run-time format PGF. +

+

+Requirements: C#, Haskell, basics of compilers and parsing algorithms. +

+ +

GF localization library

+

+This is an idea for a software localization library using GF grammars. +The library should replace strings by grammar rules, which can be conceived +as very smart templates always guaranteeing grammatically correct output. +The library should be based on the +GF Resource Grammar Library, providing infrastructure +currently for 12 languages. +

+

+Requirements: GF, some natural languages, some localization platform +

+ +

Multilingual grammar applications for mobile phones

+

+GF grammars can be compiled into programs that can be run on different +platforms, such as web browsers and mobile phones. An example is a +numeral translator running on both these platforms. +

+

+The proposed project is rather open: find some cool applications of +the technology that are useful or entertaining for mobile phone users. A +part of the project is to investigate implementation issues such as making +the best use of the phone's resources. Possible applications have +something to do with translation; one suggestion is an sms editor/translator. +

+

+Requirements: GF, JavaScript, some phone application development tools +

+ +

Multilingual grammar applications for the web

+

+This project is rather open: find some cool applications of +the technology that are useful or entertaining on the web. Examples include +

+ + +

+Requirements: GF, JavaScript or Java and Google Web Toolkit, CGI +

+ +

GMail gadget for GF

+

+It is possible to add custom gadgets to GMail. If you are going to write +e-mail in a foreign language then you probably will need help from +dictonary or you may want to check something in the grammar. GF provides +all resources that you may need but you have to think about how to +design gadget that fits well in the GMail environment and what +functionality from GF you want to expose. +

+

+Requirements: GF, Google Web Toolkit +

+ +

Dissemination and intellectual property

+

+All code suggested here will be released under the LGPL just like +the current resource grammars and run-time GF libraries, +with the copyright held by respective authors. +

+

+As a rule, the code will be distributed via the GF web site. +
