[Corpora-List] book announcement / Lexical Markup Framework (LMF) ISO-standard ISO-24613:2008

[pap]

Dear colleagues,

allow me to point you attention to the first book dedicated to the LMF 
Lexical Markup Framework, Gil Francopoulo (Editor)
ISBN: 978-1-84821-430-9, 288 pages, March 2013, Wiley-ISTE 
(http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1848214308.html).

Description:

The community responsible for developing lexicons for Natural Language 
Processing (NLP) and Machine Readable Dictionaries (MRDs) started their 
ISO standardization activities in 2003. These activities resulted in the 
ISO standard – Lexical Markup Framework (LMF).
After selecting and defining a common terminology, the LMF team had to 
identify the common notions shared by all lexicons in order to specify a 
common skeleton (called the core model) and understand the various 
requirements coming from different groups of users.
The goals of LMF are to provide a common model for the creation and use 
of lexical resources, to manage the exchange of data between and among 
these resources, and to enable the merging of a large number of 
individual electronic resources to form extensive global electronic 
resources.
The various types of individual instantiations of LMF can include 
monolingual, bilingual or multilingual lexical resources. The same 
specifications can be used for small and large lexicons, both simple and 
complex, as well as for both written and spoken lexical representations. 
The descriptions range from morphology, syntax and computational 
semantics to computer-assisted translation. The languages covered are 
not restricted to European languages, but apply to all natural 
languages.
The LMF specification is now a success and numerous lexicon managers 
currently use LMF in different languages and contexts.
This book starts with the historical context of LMF, before providing 
an overview of the LMF model and the Data Category Registry, which 
provides a flexible means for applying constants like /grammatical 
gender/ in a variety of different settings. It then presents concrete 
applications and experiments on real data, which are important for 
developers who want to learn about the use of LMF.
