Subject: Language Engineering Directory
The Commission of the European Communities, DGXIII (Luxembourg) has,
according to a letter I recently received, initiated the creation of a
Language Engineering Directory. It has commissioned a firm in Amsterdam,
INK International, to carry out a world-wide survey of the activities in
"language engineering", i.e. research or development of technologies for
the computer-based processing of natural languages. This survey takes
the form of an extensive questionnaire, which I presume is available for
the asking.
The survey was first carried out in 1988/89 in both public and private
sectors, their products and research projects. The survey for 1990 is
devoted entirely to commercial products.
The stated aim is to publish a low-cost Directory available to the
general public and perhaps someday to make the results accessible
online.
Interested individuals should write to the following address:
