 Natural Language Software Registry

 *******************


Dear Netters,
the Natural Language Software Registry (NLSR) is pleased to announce
the availability of its famous Registry on the DFKI Beta Online Research
3W Server.

The URL is:

 http://cl-www.dfki.uni-sb.de/cl/registry/draft.html

The NATURAL LANGUAGE SOFTWARE REGISTRY is a concise summary of the capabilities
and sources of language processing software available to researchers. It
comprises academic, commercial, and proprietary software, with theory,
specifications, and terms on which it can be acquired clearly indicated.
The second edition contains about one hundred software descriptions.

If you have written a system dealing with natural language and if you want
to contribute to the third version of our registry (which can make your work
popular since it is distributed all over the world), you'll have to fill
in the text questionnaire which is also available on the Web server.
Soon, there will be an implementation of an ** interactive questionnaire **
in order to give you a user friendly tool to contribute to our Registry.

The document and the questionnaire are also available by anonymous ftp to

 - ftp.dfki.uni-sb.de (directory: pub/registry),
 - crlftp.nmsu.edu (directory: pub/non-lexical/NL_Software_Registry)
 - dri.cornell.edu (directory: /pub/Natural_Language_Software_Registry/
 or /pub/NLSR)

For the information of the linguist community:

This Institute aims at promoting and co-ordinating research
in Linguistics in the description of particular and in applied
linguistics and wishes to develop contacts and co-operation with
interested local bodies outside the University of Malta working
within the field of language and speech impairment. The Institute
aims at promoting the use of the language laboratory as an aid in
the teaching of foreign languages to both University and non-university
students. One of the Institute's chief objectives is to develop inter-
national contacts with similar university institutions abroad, especially
those with an interest in Mediterranean heritage.
