MONDILEX – towards the research infrastructure for digital resources in Slavic lexicography

Abstract

MONDILEX – towards the research infrastructure for digital resources in Slavic lexicographyThe paper presents activities of the EU project MONDILEX, Conceptual Modelling of Networking of Centres for High-Quality Research in Slavic Lexicography and their Digital Resources. The main objective of MONDILEX is to design the conceptual scheme of a research infrastructure that supports the networking of centres for high-quality research in traditional and digital Slavic lexicography.

Main results of MONDILEX project

“…As such, research infrastructures greatly contribute to the development of the knowledge society. The MONDILEX project was motivated by the need of a sustainable and scalable infrastructure for institutions involved in creating and supporting a network of multilingual resources of Slavic languages (Dimitrova et al 2010). Such an infrastructure is necessary in view of the obvious mismatch between the importance of Slavic languages, spoken by a substantial part of Europe's population, and the insufficient number and inadequate quality of digital lexical resources for these languages.…”

Bulgarian-Polish Language Resources (Current State and Future Development)

“…Multilingual corpora are large repositories of natural language data with an important role in natural language processing. These digital resources are widely applicable to the contrastive studies in a multilingual context Dimitrova, Koseska, Roszko, D. & Roszko, R., 2009a, 2010, in a system for human and machine translation, as well as in education for the purpose of language learning or training of translators. They are a valuable multilingual dataset for language engineering research and development, especially for training of the software tools for machine translation.…”
