[Corpora-List] Replies regarding lexical annotation standards

Recently I asked:

Thanks to Lee, Susana, Eric, and Andrew for their replies, excerpted
below.

   From Lee Gillam <l.gillam at eim.surrey.ac.uk>

     Try "Lexical Annotation Framework" as a Google search - this activity
     is running through ISO TC37 SC4 and should become a standard some time in the
     next 18-24 months.

   From Susana Sotelo Docío <ssd at linghoo.com>

      take a look at OLIF (http://www.olif.net/), Open Lexicon Interchange
      Format. It intends to be a lexicon and terminology exchange standard,
      and it is based on XML.

   From Eric Atwell <eric at comp.leeds.ac.uk>

      I assume you mean lexico-grammatical annotation i.e. Part-of-Speech
      tagging standards?  Shereen Khoja and Andrew Hardie finished PhDs at
      Lancaster last year which included analyses of how EAGLES-style tagsets
      extend beyond EU languages to Arabic (Khoja) and Urdu (Hardie);

   From Andrew Hardie <a.hardie at blueyonder.co.uk>

      I just thought I'd let you know that my thesis on Urdu is now
      available - hopefully it will be on the web before too long, but for
      now if you'd like to see any part of it (e.g. the chapter on my
      EAGLES-compliant POS tagset for Urdu) I can send it to you by email.

Cheers,

  Philip
