  1.   LEXUS: a web based lexicon tool Jacquelijn Ringersma Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics Nijmegen, The Netherlands

  2.   Content Max Planck Institute – Archive of linguistic resources Documentation of endangered languages projects (DoBeS) Tool support (archiving software and enrichment software) LEXUS and ViCoS Interdisciplinary software development – challenges and problems

  3.   Max Planck Institute for psycholinguistics Max Planck Gesellschaft 78 research institutes (Germany) 3 outside Germany: 2 Italy (art) 1 The Netherlands (psycholinguistics) The study of mental processes involved in language production, language comprehension and language acquisition, as well as the relation between language, thought, and culture

  4.   Max Planck Institute for psycholinguistics Archive for linguistic resources Different types of linguistic material: endangered languages archive, the European second learner corpus, the National Corpus of Spoken Dutch, gesture corpora, acquisition corpora and language documentation corpora More than 230.000 objects, 25 Tb data: digitized audio and video images annotations Included formats: o.a. XML, HTML, Chat, Toolbox, PDF, Wav, Mpeg1,2,4 Organization: Metadata descriptions, data base Access via the Internet: Meta data search & content search access to these resources is limited and can be made available upon request

  5.   Documentation of endangered languages • DoBeS = Dokumentation Bedrohter Sprachen • DoBeS has two major pillars: • language documentation by experienced teams • to preserve part of our cultural heritage and • to help in revitalization where possible • creating an organized, accessible and persistent archive

  6.   Multimedia Lexicon Described Corpus Typed Relations within the Lexicon Photos Archive Content: Yélî Dnye (Rossell Island) Annotated Media

  7.   Tool Support Archiving:IMDI, LAMUS, AMS Data enrichment:ELAN, Synpathy, ADDIT, ANNEX, LEXUS

  8.   LEXUS - Lexicon tool • LEXUS • Web based lexicon tool • Based on the ISO recommendations for linguistic resources • LMF : Linguistic Markup Framework (lexicon structure) • DCR: Data Category Registries (concept naming) • LMF/DCR: a modular structure for content interoperability • between (all aspects) of lexical resources.

  9.   LEXUS - Lexicon tool • Creation of lexica from scratch, import lexica from other formats

  10.   LEXUS - Lexicon tool • Creation of lexica from scratch, import lexica from other formats • User defined view of the information in the lexical entries

  11.   LEXUS - Lexicon tool • Creation of lexica from scratch, import lexica from other formats • User defined view of the information in the lexical entries • Linking multi-media fragments to lexical entries

  12.   LEXUS - Lexicon tool • Creation of lexica from scratch, import lexica from other formats • User defined view of the information in the lexical entries • Linking multi-media fragments to lexical entries • Creation of links in images

  13.   Link to: kauo’e mei ‘terminal bud (female)’ LEXUS - Lexicon tool

  14.   LEXUS - Lexicon tool • Creation of lexica from scratch, import lexica from other formats • User defined view of the information in the lexical entries • Linking multi-media fragments to lexical entries • Creation of links in images • Link to resources within the digital archive (or other external • web-based resources) – interaction with other archiving tools

  15.   LEXUS - further developments Towards a multi-media dictionary of the Marquesan and Tuamotuan languages of French polynesia • Building a digital multi-media encyclopedic dictionary with LEXUS • Improving basic LEXUS functionalities • Conceptual spaces • Improved User Interface • Project team: • Linguist team (Gablitz, Mosel) • Developers (Kemps, Zinn, Alcock) • Speech community (Kape, Guillome, Tetahiotupa, Tahia, Mataiki, Bruneau Pati)

  16.   LEXUS - further developments Towards a multi-media dictionary of the Marquesan and Tuamotuan languages of French polynesia • Building a digital multi-media encyclopedic dictionary with LEXUS • Improving basic LEXUS functionalities • Conceptual spaces • Improved User Interface • Aim: • MM Dictionary • Speech community input and extensions • Community based instance of the lexicon

  17.   Definition of SW constraints Definition of SW requirements Joint action linguist and speech community Field work Data archiving and annotation all Lexicon creation Developers Lexicon import and creation of Multi media encyclopedic lexicon Further developments of LEXUS Lexus basic functionalities LEXUS - further developments Project workflow

  18.   LEXUS - further developments Issues that came up: User Interface Conceptual spaces in multi media encyclopedia

  19.   LEXUS - further developments User Interface User wants to enter the lexicon through the lexical entries, either by from the listed lexicon or by search :

  20.   LEXUS - further developments New User Interface

  21.   LEXUS - further developments New User Interface

  22.   LEXUS - further developments Conceptual spaces in multi media encyclopedia Conventional paper dictionaries: network of meanings less visible Paper dictionaries limited usefulness in language maintenance and language revival (Manning et al., 2000) Members of speech community prefer following semantic links of different semantic types (synonyms, antonyms, lexical, taxonomies)

  23.   LEXUS - further developments Conceptual spaces in multi media encyclopedia

  24.   ViCoS Vizualizing Conceptual Spaces • Complement lexical spaces with ontological spaces • Allow users to construct a space of culturally relevant concepts • Concepts as centres for all sorts of information • relations to other concepts • anchored in the language to express them • linked to multimedia archive to describe them

  25.   ViCoS

  26.   Interdisciplinary software development challenges and problems Our challenge: Design a product that fits the needs of the SC and thus contribute to maintain and possible revitalize a documented language and consequently present and preserve the cultural heritage More practical: Simple user interface for a complex tool – is it possible? Collaborative workspaces to work in a Wiki-like manner

  27.   Interdisciplinary software development challenges and problems So, what do we encounter: Interesting project and collaboration, but NOT easy: Need to bridge the ‘concept gap’ Communication over distances Different expectations – different (sub)-goals Software limitations of an online tool IPR between developer team and linguist team IPR between speech community and linguist team

  28.   Interdisciplinary software development challenges and problems Is there a positive conclusion? Interaction opens worlds First reactions on concept UI and ViCoS from SC are positive First experience of SC and LS is useful for the development of ViCoS More DoBeS projects are interested in using LEXUS as an ‘exploitation’ tool Still almost a year to go..
