CL Research has been designated an agent for Oxford University Press to
license the New Oxford Dictionary of English (NODE) to the academic and
commercial research communities.  This dictionary has been praised as a
"major achievement" in lexicography; in its machine-readable form,
considerable additional information is available.  CL Research has also
created a machine-tractable version of NODE in its dictionary creation
and maintenance software (DIMAP) and then parsed the definitions to add
semantic links between entries (particularly hypernyms, but also
including "typical subject" for verbs). Details, including the license
agreement, are available at http://www.clres.com/oup-clr.html.

The licensing fees for a two-year period are:

		Academic	Commercial
		--------	----------
NODE		$1,500		$7,500
NODE+DIMAP	$2,000		$10,000

Other Oxford products (thesaurus, bilingual dictionaries, inflection
lists) are also available.  Commercial exploitation agreements will be
developed separately.
