The current state of the art for metadata provision allows for a very flexible approach, catering for the needs of different archives and communities, referring to common data category registries that describe the meaning of a data category at least to authors of metadata. Component models for metadata provisions are for example used by CLARIN and META-SHARE, but there is also an increased flexibility in other metadata schemas such as Dublin Core, which is usually not seen as appropriate for meaningful description of language resources.
Making resources available for others and putting this to a second use in other projects has never been more widely accepted as a sensible efficient way to avoid a waste of efforts and resources. However, when it comes to the details, there is still a vast number of problems. This workshop has aimed at being a forum to address issues and challenges in the concrete work with metadata for LRs, not restricted to a single initiative for archiving LRs. It has allowed for exchange and discussion and we hope that the reader finds the articles here compiled interesting and useful.
Creating and maintaining metadata for various kinds of resources requires appropriate tools to assist the user. The paper presents the metadata editor ProFormA for the creation and editing of CMDI (Component Metadata Infrastructure) metadata in web forms. This editor supports a number of CMDI profiles currently being provided for different types of resources. Since the editor is based on XForms and server-side processing, users can create and modify CMDI files in their standard browser without the need for further processing. Large parts of ProFormA are implemented as web services in order to reuse them in other contexts and programs.
The paper’s purpose is to give an overview of the work on the Component Metadata Infrastructure (CMDI) that was implemented in the CLARIN research infrastructure. It explains, the underlying schema, the accompanying tools and services. It also describes the status and impact of the CMDI developments done within the CLARIN project and past and future collaborations with other projects.
This paper describes the status of the standardization efforts of a Component Metadata approach for describing Language Resources with metadata. Different linguistic and Language & Technology communities as CLARIN, META-SHARE and NaLiDa use this component approach and see its standardization of as a matter for cooperation that has the possibility to create a large interoperable domain of joint metadata. Starting with an overview of the component metadata approach together with the related semantic interoperability tools and services as the ISOcat data category registry and the relation registry we explain the standardization plan and efforts for component metadata within ISO TC37/SC4. Finally, we present information about uptake and plans of the use of component metadata within the three mentioned linguistic and L&T communities.
In this paper, we examine methods to extract different domain-specific relations from the food domain. We employ different extraction methods ranging from surface patterns to co-occurrence measures applied on different parts of a document. We show that the effectiveness of a particular method depends very much on the relation type considered and that there is no single method that works equally well for every relation type. As we need to process a large amount of unlabeled data our methods only require a low level of linguistic processing. This has also the advantage that these methods can provide responses in real time.
We present a gold standard for semantic relation extraction in the food domain for German. The relation types that we address are motivated by scenarios for which IT applications present a commercial potential, such as virtual customer advice in which a virtual agent assists a customer in a supermarket in finding those products that satisfy their needs best. Moreover, we focus on those relation types that can be extracted from natural language text corpora, ideally content from the internet, such as web forums, that are easy to retrieve. A typical relation type that meets these requirements are pairs of food items that are usually consumed together. Such a relation type could be used by a virtual agent to suggest additional products available in a shop that would potentially complement the items a customer has already in their shopping cart. Our gold standard comprises structural data, i.e. relation tables, which encode relation instances. These tables are vital in order to evaluate natural language processing systems that extract those relations.
In this paper, we examine methods to automatically extract domain-specific knowledge from the food domain from unlabeled natural language text. We employ different extraction methods ranging from surface patterns to co-occurrence measures applied on different parts of a document. We show that the effectiveness of a particular method depends very much on the relation type considered and that there is no single method that works equally well for every relation type. We also examine a combination of extraction methods and also consider relationships between different relation types. The extraction methods are applied both on a domain-specific corpus and the domain-independent factual knowledge base Wikipedia. Moreover, we examine an open-domain lexical ontology for suitability.
In this paper, we compare three different generalization methods for in-domain and cross-domain opinion holder extraction being simple unsupervised word clustering, an induction method inspired by distant supervision and the usage of lexical resources. The generalization methods are incorporated into diverse classifiers. We show that generalization causes significant improvements and that the impact of improvement depends on the type of classifier and on how much training and test data differ from each other. We also address the less common case of opinion holders being realized in patient position and suggest approaches including a novel (linguistically-informed) extraction method how to detect those opinion holders without labeled training data as standard datasets contain too few instances of this type.
We present an experimental approach to determining natural dimensions of story comparison. The results show that untrained test subjects generally do not privilege structural information. When asked to justify sameness ratings, they may refer to content, but when asked to state differences, they mostly refer to style, concrete events, details and motifs. We conclude that adequate formal models of narratives must represent such non-structural data.
Dieser Beitrag versucht, eine Einschätzung der Einsatzmöglichkeiten für automatische Analysemethoden aus der aktuellen computerlinguistischen Forschung für die sprachvergleichende Grammatikforschung vorzunehmen. Zur Illustration werden die Ergebnisse einer computerlinguistischen Studie für die vergleichende Untersuchung von Spaltsatzkonstruktionen in verschiedenen Sprachen wiedergegeben und ausführlich diskutiert. Der Korpuszugang erfolgt in diesem Rahmen auf Basis einer vollautomatischen syntaktischen Analyse, die dann noch zusätzlich durch eine statistische Wortalignierung kontrastiv auf Parallelkorpora beleuchtet werden kann. Neben der Vorstellung der bereits bestehenden automatischen Annotationsmöglichkeiten, die in meinen Augen vielversprechende Wege für den sprachwissenschaftlichen Korpuszugang eröffnen, ist die Hoffnung, dass dieser Beitrag durch die abschließende Diskussion zu dem Bewusstsein beiträgt, dass eine tiefere, organischere Verbindung der beiden sprachwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen möglich ist: dann nämlich, wenn der Korpuszugang nicht mit statischen, vordefinierten Werkzeugen erfolgt, deren Verhalten durch die Grammatikforscherin oder den Grammatikforscher nicht beeinflusst werden kann, sondern wenn ein interaktiver Werkzeuggebrauch erfolgt, der von den vielfältigen Anpassungsmöglichkeiten mit den zugrunde liegenden maschinellen Lernverfahren Gebrauch macht.
