Areas of interest

• Language Resources Infrastructures: collection, documentation and processing
• Modelling of Language Resources (metadata schemas in XSD and RDF)
• Licensing issues and legal metadata for language resources
• Computational lexicography and lexicology (design and development of mono/bi/multilingual lexicons for NLP/MT systems),
• Pedagogical lexicography for human users
• Computational terminology (automatic term extraction, construction of mono- and multilingual terminological thesauri for human users and computational systems)
• Text corpus related activities (corpus design and linguistic annotation as well as corpus-based research)
• Modelling of cultural heritage information (metadata standards for description and preservation, management of cultural multimodal collections, design of support environments)
