Ortolang

Abstract

This paper presents the infrastructure for the Equipex Ortolang (Open Resources and Tools for LANGuage / Outils et Ressources pour un Traitement Optimisé de la LANGue : www.ortolang.fr) which is currently being developed as part of the French government's Investments for the Future programme.Drawing on existing resources such as the CNRTL (Centre National de Ressources Textuelles et Lexicales: www.cnrtl.fr) and SLDR (Speech and Language Data Repository: http://sldr.org/), the infrastructure is designed for the long-term management, sharing and dissemination of linguistic resources including corpora, dictionaries, lexicons and language processing tools, with a particular focus on French and other languages in France.The paper briefly presents the rationale behind such an original and ground-breaking project, then describes the main characteristics and goals of Ortolang, the platform hardware and software as well as the means available, before concluding with planned future developments and an invitation to contribute to the project.
