[Corpora-List] Hierarchically classified corpora?

[Pierre Zweigenbaum]

Dear Daniel,

> I'm working on my master thesis "Accurate Hierarchical Classification 
> using NLP Techniques". I hope to improve the accuracy of hierarchical 
> classification on English and German corpora by using additional 
> information extracted with aid of linguistic tools.
> 
> I would like to ask where I can obtain corpora which are already 
> classified in a hierarchy. I need several English and German corpora. I 
> would prefer if the topics of the corpora are about linguistic or 
> computer science.

> Regards & Thanks,

The Medline database of scientific publications in the
biomedical domain contains article abstracts which are
indexed using the hierarchically organized MeSH thesaurus.
It can be obtained for free through a license with the US National
Library of Medicine. It currently contains over 16 million records,
a majority of which have English abstracts.
