| Abstract |
In this paper we describe a survey of Dutch language resources that has been carried out within the framework of a project launched by the Dutch Language Union (Nederlandse Taalunie) with the aim of strengthening the position of Dutch in Human Language Technologies (HLT). In this paper we present a so-called BLARK (Basic LAnguage Resources Kit). Based on the information collected in the survey, a priority list has been drawn up for materials that need to be developed to complete the BLARK specific for Dutch. The method employed and reported in this paper is not specific for Dutch and can be adopted for other languages. |
