The workshop will be dedicated to the development of the grammatical resources for the processing of the following languages:

Internship Program in Computational Linguistics

The Internship Program in Computational Linguistics is a program devoted to the training of human resources for the creation and development of linguistic resources (dictionaries, grammars, knowledge bases, translation memories and corpora) for the UNL project. The participation is open to students enrolled in any undergraduate or graduate program in the field of Languages and Linguistics, in Switzerland and abroad, and may be pursued from distance (online) or at the UNDL Foundation office in Geneva.

Call for Participation in the UNL Programme

The UNDL Foundation is seeking language specialists to provide dictionary entries and grammar rules for the UNL program in their native language. Tasks are distributed upon availability and are carried out in a distance-working environment through a specific web interface.

The UNDL Foundation is extending the set of funded languages in the UNL Programme. Financial support will be initially granted to freelancers participating in the project Le Petit Prince (LPP).

Call for Participation in the Project MIR

The UNDL Foundation is seeking students, translators, interpreters and language specialists to join the global effort of creating language resources for the UNL Programme. Selected candidates will be accredited to work as freelancers in providing dictionary entries for the project MIR in 10 different languages.

How to participate

The UNL^web is a community of people and organizations who share a common interest or passion for the Universal Networking Language (UNL). It is open and free. See here how to participate.

Getting started

The following instructions provide a guide for newcomers to the UNL^web. They answer the most frequently asked questions concerning how to start and what to do and indicate the basic steps for creating entries in the UNL^arium and gaining UNL^dots.

Road Map

The UNL^web is a long and often winding road to UNL-based applications. The itinerary may be bedazzling and dizzy, but the travel is always enlightening. And the destination is definitely worthwhile. A tentative map is presented here.

UNL

The Universal Networking Language (UNL) is an artificial language for representing, describing, summarizing, refining, storing and disseminating information in a natural-language-independent format. It is a kind of mark-up language which represents not the formatting but the core information of a text. As HTML annotations can be realized differently in the context of different applications, machines, displays, etc., so UNL expressions can have different realizations in different human languages.
