Abstract:
I am part of a research group at the University of Arizona developing an expert system for linguistic analysis ( Langendoen, Farrar, Lewis to appear). The core of the expert system is an ontology of linguistic concepts (Farrar, Lewis, and Langendoen 2002). The immediate goal for the expert system is to provide cross-linguistic search capabilities for endangered languages data. Our group is a part of a larger effort called Electronic Metastructure for Endangered Languages Data (EMELD) whose mandate is to bring together the endangered languages community and promote data interoperability in this community of practice.
