Hi all, just a quick comment on this. I am currently working on a NIF version 2.0. It is basically done, but needs a lot of documentation to be refchanged and code to be cleaned and updated. The latest description can be found in a chapter of this Springer book: The People's Web Meets NLP - Collaboratively Constructed Language Resources, Gurevych, Iryna; Kim, Jungi (Eds.) 2013, XXX, 394 p. 79 illus., 54 in color. But feel free to look at the preprint: http://svn.aksw.org/papers/2012/PeoplesWeb/public_preprint.pdf Regarding OLIA: As I see you are planning to construct an upper level-ontology for three Indic POS tag sets. Please have a look, whether OLiA doesn't provide this already. Maybe you can reuse it. If not you are also welcome to contribute Annotation models to OliA at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/olia/ The NLP2RDF mailing list for NIF and OLiA is here: http://lists.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/mailman/listinfo/nlp2rdf Once you add your ontologies to OLiA they will be automatically available for NIF. Please email the NLP2RDF list, if you need any help. All the best, Sebastian Am 12.02.2013 09:53, schrieb Felix Sasaki: > Thanks, Somnath.
