The UNL System is the set of UNL modules and the rules to combine them.

Modules

The modules of the UNL System are the following:

  • the lingware, i.e., the set of lexical databases (dictionaries, knowledge bases and example bases) and grammars that are used to process the UNL and each natural language
  • the software, i.e., the set of tools (for UNLization, NLization and normalization) and applications that can be generated thereafter.

Rules

The rules of the UNL System are defined as a set of standards used to normalize the development of natural language resources in the UNL R&D network. Although highly recommendable, they are not compulsory, as they concern subsidiary aspects of UNL. In any case, they must be followed by those interested in using UNDLF tools.

Tagset
The Tagset is a harmonized system for representing linguistic constants.
Dictionary Specs
The Dictionary Specs state the syntax of dictionaries.
Grammar Specs
The Grammar Specs state the syntax of grammar rules.
KB Specs
The UNL Knowledge Base Specs state the syntax of the knowledge bases.
Memory Specs
The Memory Specs state the syntax of the example bases.
