<br>
We'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to one of our <br>
newest research projects, called LEGO (Lexicon Enhancement <br>
through the GOLD Ontology). This project is taking a number of <br>
lexicons, which are being provided by their creators, and digitizing <br>
them. After being put online, they will be tagged with terms from <br>
GOLD, the General Ontology for Linguistic Description. Because the <br>
data will be linked to GOLD, the lexicons will be interoperable, so <br>
users will be able to construct linguistically interesting queries, <br>
and because the lexicons which have been generously made available <br>
to us come from 16 different projects and cover over 300 languages, <br>
this will be a significant resource for typologists, semanticists, <br>
lexicographers, translators and other researchers.<br>
<br>
Currently, we are working on evaluating all the different types <br>
and formats of lexicons we have to work with, and figuring out <br>
an XML framework which will, beyond simply accommodating all of <br>
this data, make the most of the wealth of information which the <br>
lexicons contain. We will then be designing a search interface <br>
and working with our collaborators to digitize their lexicons. <br>
In the future, the process we establish for digitizing these <br>
lexicons will be available to be applied to other lexicons as <br>
well, so that the network of information can continue to grow.<br>
<br>
We look forward to bringing you more news about this project <br>
as it progresses.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Susan Smith & Hunter Lockwood<br>
Team Leaders, LEGO Project</span></font><font size=2><span style='font-size:
