[Corpora-List] Hierarchically classified corpora?

[Armin Schmidt]

Hi Daniel,

Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) applies hierarchical categorization
to their articles. It provides very large corpora for German and
English. You can download the corpora in XML-format here:
http://download.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html. It's all free and you
can quite easily generate domain-specific corpora that are of interest
for you, e.g. those about computer science or linguistics, by simply
extracting articles having a particular tag. Also, look here:

Best,
Armin
