Changes

Key:  Additions   Deletions
The case studies developed by Working Group 2 are intended to serve as illustrations of the following topics as these have arisen and been addressed in specific subfields of linguistics:

  • Unicode character encoding standards for increasing stable display, readability, and sharing of data
  • Relational database storage
  • Wiki-based sharing of research
  • Metadata tags for increased transparency and usability of data
  • Version control
  • Web standards for sharing datasets
  • Machine reusability of language data

Case Studies:
  1. Interlinearisation: Web-based collaborative annotation using TypeCraft
  2. NLP and linguistic data: What makes data suitable for machine use?
  3. Character encoding: Reasons for using Unicode
  4. Web standards: Web design for effective data-sharing
  5. Sociolinguistics case study: Collaborative research utilizing version control
  6. Typology: Genealogical classification using AutoTyp

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE!
We welcome the contribution of additional case studies regarding standards for data storage, search, and retrieval (and other relevant topics... there are many).
Contributions are currently being coordinated by Alexis Palmer (apalmer@coli.uni-sb.de). Feel free to contact me if you have questions or need any assistance with the wiki interface.
