Pret-a-LLOD - Ready-to-use Multilingual Linked Language Data for Knowledge Services across Sectors

Linking data sets for increased language technologies

Language technologies that rely on large amounts of data and better access to language resources permit the delivery of multilingual solutions to support Europe’s Digital Single Market. However, language technology specialists spend 80 % of their time cleaning, organising and collecting data sets because data is not ‘ready-to-use’. Although an essential part of the extract-transform-load process requires linking data sets to existing designs, linked data technologies remain unexploited. The EU-funded Pret-a-LLOD project will increase the use of language technologies to create ready-to-use multilingual data. The project will combine linked data sets with language technologies that are Linguistic Linked Open Data (LLOD) and develop innovative tools for the transformation and linking of data sets.
