- Standardization
the process of developing and agreeing upon technical standards, including formats, e.g., for storing corpora or lexicons.
Both evaluation and integration of parsing systems raise the general problem of standardization. Interoperability between software components and linguistic resources is vital so as to be able to improve and enrich them by collaborating with other teams, be them French or not. This pushed the community to get involved in standardization efforts, both at a national and international level. Some Alpage members are committed in several AFN OR and ISO standardization committees (Technolangue action Normalangue; ISO TC37SC4: work on MAF “Morphosyntactic Annotation Framework”, FSR/FSD “feature Structures” and SynAF “Syntactic Annotation Framework”).
