WP2 Grammar developer’s tools - M30

Summary of progress

GF Eclipse plugin http://www.grammaticalframework.org/eclipse/index.html has grown to Version 1.5.1 by June. It has been adopted by Be Informed and Ontotext. Camilleri and Ranta gave a GF crash course at Be Informed using Eclipse. There are moreover two publications: one in EAMT (a poster), one at FreeRBMT (full paper).

The Resource Grammar Library has been enhanced by two languages as external contributions: Japanese and Latvian. The MOLTO Phrasebook has been extended to Latvian. Work on Chinese and Maltese is going on.

With the release of D2.3, Grammar Tools and Best Practices, the work in this WP finished on 30 June. But there is further work planned, as dissemination and exploitation.

A preview version of libpgf, a C-based reimplementation of the GF runtime, is available since July. When finished, it should make GF technology accessible to applications that cannot make use of the current Haskell- and Java-based runtimes either due to resource constraints or interoperability concerns. In particular, libpgf should be easier to access from non-JVM-based programming languages. Bindings for Python are available since September.

Deviations from Annex I

The delivery date of D2.3 was postponed from M24 to M27 to be able to profit from the initial experiences with the new partners' scenarios.
