Presentation in Trondheim:

• Divvun - what has happened since last year?

Bring 50 CD’s and leaflets to Trondheim.

Future plans, directions and ideas

See a separate document in plan/strat/5year.jspwiki.

Northern areas project

Collective congratulations!

The money will be in the next state budget, meaning potentially a project start January 1, 2010. We need to prepare for such a project start, even though we don’t know that we will get the money.

TODO:

• Attend a beginners’ course in Russian (priority: the alphabet!) near you..
• Keep potential key personel alert
• To a certain extent plan for The Thing

Infrastructure

To accomodate future enhancements in different directions (in rough order of importance):

1. test bench for all parts of our language technology efforts
   1. test bench enhanced, but not yet complet
2. set up the Leopard Server features for collaborative support:
   1. permanent chat rooms
   2. stored (and indexed) chat transcripts of the chat rooms
   3. iCal server / group calendars
   4. wiki
3. wiki? on G5 (is part of Leopard Server) or other web-based documentation
4. improve Forrest stability and i18n support ( the divvun crashes)
   1. Sjur has been working on better i18n and pdf rendering
   2. Børre has some ideas for getting back to serving static html files
5. reorganise the documentation:
   1. differ between target groups
   2. get better grouping
   3. decide what to write in forrest and what in wiki (cf. Apertium and [http://xixona.dlsi.ua.es/apertium/]) for a similar split)
   4. update/add missing parts
6. migrate lexc lexicons to XML, splitting the task
   1. Name lexica (the Name project)
   2. Dictionaries (already in XML, task is to integrate them)
   3. At least migrate the lexc open POSes (Komi as a pilot case)
7. change the look of the documentation web
8. use HFST as alternative to XFST
9. investigate the NSIS installer, potentially replacing the InstallShield package from Polderland
   1. done, Polderland is switching to NSIS too, will do most of the work for us
10. corpus content moved to Max Planck repositories? Norsk språkbank?
11. update infrastructure to allow content-restricted spellers for special target groups

SVN issues:

• http access not yet available (https only at the moment, but it works as anonymous checkout if the user is not specified)
• read access to the whole repo is working, BUT:
  • gt/*/polderland should be protected
  • plan should be protected
• certain users need to be on the UiT VPN to be able to commit (bug #705)
• UTF-8 problem in svn commit mails: the commit log text is garbled

SVN strategies:

• split the repository into two, or move the closed parts to the root of our present svn repository?
• the continuation depends on the above

TODO:

• infrastructure remake: (Børre, Ciprian, Saara, Sjur, Tomi, Trond)
  • more modularised make / build infra (prepare for smn, sms, sjd, others)
  • merge gt, kt and st into one
  • modularised preprocess and spellrelax
  • meeting Wednesday 13.00 (Børre, Ciprian, Sjur, Tomi, Trond)
    • done
  • alternatives to make:
    • SCons
    • makepp
    • Maven (for java-projects)
    • CMake
• make a test-all target that runs all tests we have (Ciprian, Sjur, Trond)
  • delayed until we have restructured the make/build process
• define and document testing routines (Ciprian, Sjur, Trond)
  • delayed until we have restructured the make/build process
• follow-up migration to svn:
  • close the open SVN repository at requested paths (Ciprian)
    • completely closed at the moment, until we have solved the path-based control
  • prepare and discuss with external users: Jack Ruether (Trond)
• test iCal Server (on G5) (Børre)
• remove TOC from the giellatekno home page by using dispatcher (Trond)
• meeting to discuss SVN reorg to resolve the access control thing - Wedn. 9.30 (Børre, Ciprian, Sjur, Tomi, Trond)

Name lexicon/risten.no infrastructure

Instead of building our own webforms and back-end update scripts, use XForms with a premade connection to our xml db. Orbeon XForms is such a tool (open source).

From the meeting with the terminology and IT teams last week:

• no major rework on the present search interface now
• no work on the editing section; instead:
• add existing lists of sanctioned terminology as separate term entities
• add a dictionary if we can make one with sufficient quality

This means the following tasks:

• find already approved lists, in paper or electronic form (term team)
• convert paper lists to electronic lists (term team)
• convert lists to standard XML (Sjur, Tomi)
• add prepared lists to risten.no (Sjur, Tomi)

TODO:

1. fix i18n bug in risten.no/G5 (so they will work without the proper locale request) (Sjur)
2. fix bugs in lexc2xml; add comments to the log element (Saara)
3. finish first version of the editing (Sjur)
4. test editing of the xml files. If ok, then: (Sjur, Thomas, Trond)
5. make terms-smX.xml <=== automatically from propernoun-sme-lex.xml (add nob as well) (the morphological section should be kept intact, in e.g. propernoun-sme-morph.txt) (Sjur, Saara)
6. convert propernoun-($lang)-lex.txt to a derived file from common xml files (Sjur, Tomi, Saara)
7. implement data synchronisation between risten.no and the cvs repo, and possibly other servers (ie the G5 as an alternative server to the public risten.no - it might be faster and better suited than the official one; also local installations could be treated the same way)
8. start to use the xml file as source file
9. clean terms-sme.xml such that all names have the correct tag for their use (e.g. @type=secondary) (Thomas, linguists)
10. merge placenames which are errouneously in different entries: e.g. Helsinki, Helsingfors, Helsset (linguists)
11. publish the name lexicon on risten.no (Sjur)
12. add missing parallel names for placenames (linguists)
13. add informative links between first names like Niillas and Nils (linguists)

Dictionaries

Ciprian is working towards our first sma-nob/swe dictionary, coming today?

TODO:

• Technical meeting - Wed. 12.30: (Sjur, Trond, Ciprian)
  • Windows: Stardict and its possible replacement
  • Compilation and pipeline
• smadic meeting: How to copy smenob work - Tue 9.30 (Ciprian, Trond, Lene, Maja, David)
• Set up the apache server for the risten.no beta on the linux box + Xserve. (Børre)
• set up risten.no on eXist/XServe (as a beta version site) (Sjur)
  • not yet done
• set up required infra for smenob on risten.no/XServe (Sjur)
  • waiting for the above
• Continue the dictionary infrastructure discussion (Ciprian, Sjur, Trond)
• end user documentation (how to download and install) (Ciprian, Trond)
  • started, not complete
• Contact Davvi Girji about cooperation on electronic dictionaries (Sjur)

Proofing tools

HFST-based proofing tools

Meeting with Kimmo Koskenniemi and Krister Lindén. Discussed overall architecture, functionality.

TODO:

• start to write an API specification, and an implementation specification (Sjur)

Hunspell

The version we have at the moment (beta6) will be our last one for a while.

OpenXSpell

As a middle-man between Enchant and MacOS X speller API, this is still interesting. As a direct Hunspell front-end it is not, cf above.

Testing

Spelling Error Markup

TODO:

• Set up ways of adding meta-information (source info, used in testing or not, added to lexicon or not) (Saara)
• test new and nested error markup (Sjur)
  • nesting still needs to be tested, depends on new ccat feature

Speller testing

TODO:

• test the error type selection feature in ccat (Sjur)

Testing open-source Norwegian spellers

Sjur has invited the open-source group to test their spell-checker using our test bench. The response has been positive, we’ll see what happens.

We should go to their developer meetings, and present our work and how to work with language technology.
