The UNL Program is organized in many different projects leading to the development of the language and computational resources required by the UNL System. The projects can be open or closed, and funded or non-funded, depending on the language and on the scope. Most projects involving the development of language resources follow the flow defined by the [[FoR-UNL]], and range from A1 (most basic level) to C2 (most advanced level). Software development projects follow the itinerary defined in the UNDL Foundation Road Map.

The project [[Cratylus]] aims at UNLizing the integral text of Cratylus (360 BC), written by the Greek philosopher Plato (427? BC-347? BC). Cratylus is one of the most well-known Platonic dialogues, and an outstanding cornerstone in the history of language studies. The text was used mainly to provide some standards for UNLization.

The project [[EOLSS]] aims at multilingualizing, via UNL, the content of 30 articles of the Encyclopedia of Water, one of the many encyclopedias of the Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), an integrated compendium of several encyclopaedias, which attempts to forge pathways between disciplines and to foster the transdisciplinary relations between subjects especially related to the life supporting systems.

The project [[IGLU]] intends to map WordNet glosses from English into UNL. The project is divided into two main phases: the first one (iGLU#1) addresses a subset of 27,255 synsets and is supposed to be carried out in a predominantly human basis; the second one (iGLU#2) focuses on the remaining 90,404 synsets and it is expected to be mainly automatic. In iGLU#1, linguists are supposed to UNL-ize WordNet definitions through the [[UNL Editor]], a graph-based UNL authoring tool available at the [[UNLdev]]. Decisions are stored in a UNL-ization memory, which comprises mappings between lexical items of English and Universal Words. Information on attributes and relations are also encoded. These data will be used in the second phase, when the UNL-ization process is expected to be performed by [[IAN]] - the UNDL Foundation Interactive ANalyzer -, under development. IAN requires much less human intervention than the UNL Editor, and it is a first step towards a fully-automatic natural language analysis system. Results of the project iGLU are expected to be used not only in compiling the UNL-ization memory, but also in populating the UNL Knowledge Base, which is an essential part of the architecture of the UNL system. It will improve the quality of word sense disambiguation and enhance the capability of information retrieval and extraction through UNL.

It contains 117,659 entries representing different sets of synonyms (or synsets) of the English language, which have been associated to lexical items of several different languages, as in many wordnet-based initiatives. Differently from other wordnets, however, the MIR  intends to provide a concept-to-word database (i.e., a semasiological, decoding or writer's dictionary) instead of a word-to-concept lexicon (onomosialogical, encoding, reader's dictionary).

The UNL Program is organized in many different projects leading to the development of the language and computational resources required by the UNL System. The projects can be open or closed, and funded or non-funded, depending on the language and on the scope. Most projects involving the development of language resources follow the flow defined by the FoR-UNL, and range from A1 (most basic level) to C2 (most advanced level). Software development projects follow the itinerary defined in the UNDL Foundation Road Map.

Language Resources (Lingware)

There are three different types of projects dealing with the development of language resources. Each of them have specific sub-types, as indicated below.

  • Dictionary projects aims at proving entries to the UNL-driven dictionaries

    • AD: Analysis (NL->UNL) Dictionary projects aims at mapping natural language lexical items into UWs
    • ND: Natural Language Dictionary projects aims at treating entries resulting from GD Dictionary projects
    • UD: UNL Dictionary projects aims at analyzing, defining and exemplifying UWs
  • Corpus projects aims at providing corpora for assessing UNL grammars
    • GC: Generation (UNL->NL) Corpus projects aims at NL-izing a UNL document
    • AC: Analysis (NL->UNL) Corpus projects aims at UNL-izing a natural language document
  • Memory projects aims at providing other lexical resources for UNL-based systems
    • KB: Knowledge Base projects aims at providing entries for the UNL Knowledge Base
    • UM: UNL Memory projects aims at providing entries for the UNL Memory
    • NM: NL Memory projects aims at providing entries for the NL Memory
    • AM: Analysis (NL->UNL) Memory projects aims at mapping translation units into UNL
    • GM: Generation (UNL->NL) Memory projects aims at UNL segments into natural language expressions
