Dear Martin,
This is just to let you know that your first proposal has a lot to do with the project IGLU, described in http://www.unlweb.net/unlweb/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=60:iglu&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=60. The UNDL Foundation and the Library of Alexandria, in Egypt, have been already UNL-izing the definitions extracted from the WordNet (but we’re using the whole WN and not only a set of 1,000 core UWs). As of today, we have already UNL-ized 61.13% of the definitions, which may be extracted from UNLARIUM>CORPUS>IGLU>EXPORT. Anyone is able to join IGLU, provided that has been approved in CUP500. The only problem is that, for the time being, IGLU has not been funded (as MIR or LPP).
Best regards,

Hi,
I'm currently working on a very similar project to UNL, in fact I have integrated the core vocab, relations, and attributes into the interlingua translation engine SPEL (speakable programming for every language).
I also use the words from the wordnet-core, Oxford 3000 and special-english.
SPEL differs from UNL in two important ways:
1. it is human speakable down to the core interlingua.
2. it is a programming language, so has formalized syntax and morphology. So requires users to learn the grammar and vocabulary which is available for transltion from their native language.
3. It aims to be useable for deliberative computer programming and wiki creation.
SPEL is also similar to UNL:
1. It allows input from a large variety of languages.
2. All input languages can be precisely translated to all other languages.
3. It may be useable for parlimentary assemblies such as the UN or EU,
where policies could be "programmed" through deliberative discussion.
This is not a call for funding, however it is a call for co-operation.
I am interested in working towards a common ground if possible.
Perhaps some kind of joint project like UNL-SPEL. |
