[Corpora-List] NLDB'04 Extended deadline

[F.Meziane]

9th International Conference on Application of Natural Language to 
Information Systems

June 23-25 2004, Salford, Manchester, UK.

Call for papers
Since 1995, the NLDB conference aims at bringing together researcher, 
industrials and potential users interested in various application of 
Natural Language in the Database and Information Systems fields. 
The integration of databases and natural language has been an utopia for 
many years. However, progress has been made and this is now an established 
field thanks to developments in Natural Language and technologies that 
made the storage and manipulation of large electronic dictionaries 
possible. As Information Systems are now evolving into the communication 
area, the term databases should be considered in the broader sense of 
information and communication systems
The use of Natural Language in Software Engineering has contributed to 
both improving the development process from the viewpoints of developers 
(improve the process of conceptual modelling, validation, etc) and the 
usability of applications by users (natural language query interfaces, 
semantic webs, etc).
