We are happy to announce the release of the annotation guidelines for
Universal Dependencies at http://universaldependencies.github.io/docs/.
Universal Dependencies is a project that seeks to develop cross-linguistically
consistent treebank annotation for many languages with the goal of
facilitating multilingual parser development, cross-lingual learning, and
parsing research from a language typology perspective. The annotation scheme
is based on (universal) Stanford dependencies (de Marneffe et al., 2006, 2008,
2014), Google universal part-of-speech tags (Petrov et al., 2012), and the
Interset interlingua for morphosyntactic tagsets (Zeman, 2008). The general
philosophy is to provide a universal inventory of categories and guidelines to
facilitate consistent annotation of similar constructions across languages,
while allowing language-specific extensions when necessary.

We intend to treat version 1 as stable for at least the next year, but we may
subsequently make further revisions based on experiences using it to treebank
a range of languages. Our goal is to make a first release of data sets with
language-specific documentation by January 1, 2015. If you are interested in
contributing to this effort, please get in touch.
