The
purpose of LT-World is to serve as a comprehensive information
resource for the scientific community as well as for industrial
R&D and marketing on approaches, methods, projects,
experts, resources, products, conferences and organizations
in nearly all areas of language technology. LT-world is
based on an underlying multidimensional conceptual organization
of the information represented as a relational ontology
of all relevant classes of informational objects in the
language technology field. On the data level of LT-World
all these objects are classified according to the ontology.
The LT-World ontology is compliant with common metadata
standards, such as DublinCore, as well as with related domain-specific
metadata initiatives such as OLAC.
