[Corpora-List] Universal POS Tagset

[Daniel Zeman]

Hi Adam,

I've been working on similar stuff and have had a poster at last year's 
LREC:
http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz:8080/bib/?section=publication&id=-6437616343801484763&mode=view
(and the framework is here:
https://wiki.ufal.ms.mff.cuni.cz/user:zeman:interset )

However, my universal tagset is a virtual one - it's a definition of 
possible features and their values, not exactly a set of tags (encoded 
as strings). Also, it's work in progress, and changes will be needed to 
achieve universality. Anyway, let me know if I can be of any help.

Best,
Dan
