View source for UNL-NL Memory

The '''UNL<->NL Memory''' is a set of mappings between a given natural language and UNL. It may be unidirectional (UNL-NL Memory or NL-UNL Memory) or bidirectional (UNL<->NL Memory). It is used to improve and normalize the results of the [[UNLization]] and the [[NLization]], as it contain segments that have been previously UNLized or NLized.<br/><br />
The UNL<->NL Memory may be provided in two different formats:
*Extended, in TMX; or
*Simplified, as a set of [[Grammar_Specs#Disambiguation_Rules|network disambiguation rules]]



== Extended format ==

UNL<->NL Memory entries in extended format must comply with the [http://www.gala-global.org/lisa-oscar-standards Translation Memory eXchange Specs], as follows:

    <tu>
        <tuv xml:lang="en"><seg>a good deal</seg><tuv>
        <tuv xml:lang="unl"><seg>400059171</seg><tuv>
    </tu>
     
Where:<br />
<tu> is the beginning of the translation unit<br />
</tu> is the end of the translation unit<br />
<tuv> is the beginning translation unit variant<br />
</tuv> is the end of the translation unit variant<br />
<seg> is the beginning of the translation segment<br />
</seg> is the end of the translation segment<br />

== Simplified format ==

UNL<->NL Memory entries in simplified format must be represented as a set of [[Grammar_Specs#Disambiguation_Rules|network disambiguation rules]], as follows:

 equ(SOURCE;TARGET)=DC;

Where:<br />
equ is the UNL relation for "equivalent";<br />
SOURCE is the source segment;<br />
TARGET is the target segment; <br />
DC is the degree of certainty (i.e., the likelihood of the relation between the SOURCE and the TARGET)<br />
