XML Research Dissemination Workshop

Research Dissemination Workshop: Markup Technologies for Computational Linguistics
Hosted by the HCRC Language Technology Group
University of Edinburgh
25, 26 February 1999
The Language Technology Group, with support from EPSRC, ESRC and other sources, has invested substantial effort over the last four years in building up an inventory of tools and technologies for the markup of language data. This in turn has led to the articulation of a markup-based architecture for NLP systems, which we have used for applications as diverse as discourse relation annotation, named entity recognition and tokenisation. The goal of this workshop is to introduce our work to a wider audience, with:
A tutorial on XML, the W3C standard based on SGML which is at the heart of our work [No spaces left];
Details of our use of markup technologies;
Comparison and contrast with similar technologies developed elsewhere.
The keynote on Thursday evening will be given by Michael Sperberg-McQueen, and promises to be both entertaining and informative.
