Todo list for this page
we are currently re-modelling everything:
- add missing cooperations
- get logos from funding projects
- order and improve individual contributions
Cooperations
NIF and its community project NLP2RDF serve as an umbrella project liaising with other community of practices, especially:
- MultilingualWeb-LT Working Group
- Best Practices for Multilingual Linked Open Data Community Group
- Ontology-Lexica Community Group
- Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation (NERD)
- Ontologies of Linguistic Annotation (OLiA)
- Apache Stanbol
Origins
NIF was originally created by a small team from AKSW at University of Leipzig during the LOD2 EU Project, which is still ongoing until 2014.
Maintainers and supporters
Below we are listing the projects and institutions that either support NIF or are part of the NLP2RDF project.
LIDER EU Project | ||
Funding
The NLP2RDF project receives funding from the FP7 LOD2 EU project, the LIDER EU project and the .
Open-source projects
The NLP2RDF/NIF infrastructure relies upon these free and openly available services:
- Live OWL Documentation Environment (LODE)
- SemVer
- Tools and libraries from the Apache foundation (e.g. Maven, Jena, …)
- Licenses from Creative Commons
Although we often take these services for granted, it is obvious that developing NIF completely from scratch would not have been feasible.
