Re: [Ankur-core] XML standard for Ankur's Abhidhan

[Abu Z. <za...@gm...>]

You might also find it helpful to look at apertium dictionary format, which
is also standard XML. Here is the link to svn for Nepalese Language (its the
closest language to Bengali in apertium we have so far, and the Bengali pair
is far from finished :( )
http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apertium/trunk/apertium-bn-en/.

I have been working to find some standard tag sets for Bengali language, so
far I'm also doing away with pen treebank tagsets, but I the future I might
need to extend those, as for my project requirements. *However, I bellive
penn treebank tagset to be sufficient for a general purpose dictionary
format.*

The attached file contains the Pen Treebank Tagset and also the bilingual
ductioanry format from apertium.

What I'd like to propose is instead of using <pos_tag>Verb, non-3rd person
singular present</
pos_tag> you could create some definitions like verb, person, number, tense
and then use them as the property for the specific entry. I'd be easier to
parse in the future.
