Infrastructure

Makefile + tag simplification

1. test that the output from the new transducers is identical to the old one (Tomi)
2. write new build commands (Sjur, Tomi)
3. when the new build infrastructure works as it should, delete the old ones (Sjur, Tomi)

General list

• licensing of our source code
  • the discussion goes on in news - needs to be finished soon
• fit repository:
  • maintenance issues
  • FOSS policy and communication of it
  • what do we actually want to support?
  • structure of repository

Trond will write an e-mail to the fit group explaining our situation.

To accommodate 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 complete
2. improve Forrest i18n support with static sites
3. 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
4. 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)
5. change the look of the documentation web
6. corpus content moved to Max Planck repositories? Norsk språkbank?
7. update infrastructure to allow content-restricted spellers for special target groups

TODO:

• make the new SL Server services functional: (Børre)
  • group calendars
• Jabber server and group chats: user name issues + lost chat history (Børre)
• set up corpus mirroring on the XServe again (Børre)
• restructure and clean the script/ directory, using subdirs to categorise the scripts (Ciprian)
  • please act as suggested, cf comments in the news group
• infrastructure remake: (Børre, Ciprian, 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
  • alternatives to make:
    • SCons
    • makepp
    • Maven (for java-projects)
    • CMake - Sjur looked at it, and have started to experiment
• 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

Linguistics

North Sámi

(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)

Lule Sámi

(nothing new, see proofing bugs below)

South Sámi

TODO:

• Prepare texts about normativity issue to SGL/SGM (Maja, Thomas)
• adjectives (Maja with Thomas, Trond, Sjur)
  • two competing naming conventions of continuation lexicons
    • One naming goes ATTRSUFF-PREDSUFF-STEMTYPE
    • One follows the sme convention of naming key adjectives
    • There are duplicate lexica
  • The comparative issue open here and there
    • The ATTRSUFF-PREDSUFF-STEMTYPE lexica now go to EVENCOMP and ODDCOMP only.
• add compound tags (Thomas)
• write letter to Fylkesmannen i Nordland (Sjur)
• check verb Umlaut for several verbs (Maja, Sjur, Thomas, Trond)

Name lexicon/risten.no infrastructure

Tomi has played with couchdb as a replacement for eXist in risten.no and general dictionary-related work. Seems much lighter and easier to work with.

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

Sjurs css/xsl etc. work is a step forward wrt. web dictionaries, and should (in some version) be one alternative also for real end user use. It still does not replace what we internally see as The Right Way of Making Web Dictionaries (what that is is deliberately left unspecified for now).

To be continued…

TODO:

• fkv:nob and nob:fkv is still scheduled for 18.3. release:
  • content and webpage update (Trond, Verena)
  • compile the MacDict and StarDict versions (Ciprian)
• kom:fin-eng
  • moved the original kom-lex.xml to the inc-dir and froze it
  • split it by pos into the working_file dir, the ONLY place to work with the dictionary entries
  • now, the lexC files are generated via XSLT sheets, no perl scripts
  • adjusted the Makefile
  • prepared the pipeline for compiling the mac dict
  • todo: make a pipeline for StarDict also (as far as I know, Jaska has) a Linux machine
• set up risten.no on eXist/XServe (as a beta version site) (Sjur)
• set up required infra for smenob on risten.no/XServe (Sjur)
• Continue the dictionary infrastructure discussion (Ciprian, Sjur, Trond)
• end user documentation (how to download and install) (Ciprian, Trond)
• Contact Davvi Girji about cooperation on electronic dictionaries (Sjur)
• developing the mobile phone version of smenob:
  • http://pfed.info/wksite/
• Komi
  • take out the doublets to a separate file (Ciprian)
  • merge the doublets (Jaska, Trond)
  • Completing the automaton to some state (Trond, Jaska, Paula)

Proofing tools

South Sámi

TODO:

• Go through the phonrules file (Thomas)
• difftest for fst and PL speller (Sjur)
• External beta testers:
  • David
  • Jovsset
  • the Røros group
• gold standard testing (Sjur)

HFST-based proofing tools

The work with Voikko+HFST is moving forward.

Testing

Spelling Error Markup

TODO:

• 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.
