There's an "s" too many in the link: it should be http://logossystemarchives.homestead.com/.
Thanks for posting it all the same! Job van Zuijlen From: Anabela Barreiro Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 19:34 To: [email protected] Subject: [Mt-list] Logos (OpenLogos) legacy site MT developers are invited to inspect a new website describing the linguistic underpinnings of OpenLogos: http://logossystemsarchives.homestead.com/ The site was developed by Bud Scott, the Chief Architect of Logos (OpenLogos) MT System and it presents legacy information about the Logos Model that underlies OpenLogos, the open-source MT system downloadable from DFKI at: http://logos-os.dfki.de/ Of particular interest is the availability on this site of the SAL taxonomy, the internal representation language of OpenLogos. SAL stands for Semanto-syntactic Abstraction Language, and may be thought of as a second-order natural language, since NL text is re-expressed as SAL text at the outset of internal processing. SAL has about one thousand objects (words) covering all parts of speech, making it roughly two orders of magnitude richer than pure syntax, and two orders of magnitude leaner than first order NL. The website provides descriptions and illustrations of SAL, together with motivation (e.g., using abstraction to manage NL complexity) and use (e.g. effecting syntactic and semantic disambiguation).
