[Corpora-List] English-Spanish Medical Corpora

[Dominic Widdows]

Hi Olivier,

I wasn't previously aware of a large collection of reports that  
included versions in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and  
Spanish. This would be a great resource to use for a variety of  
experiments: do you know if there is a some part of these sites where  
you can request bulk downloads?

If not, would it be possible for someone to write a spider and host  
the corpora somewhere else for bulk download? Would there be  
copyright issues, and if so could these be negotiated? If you have  
experience of doing this or any suggestions, I would be very interested.

Best wishes,
Dominic
