Project Activities: Q1 2006

In Q1 2006, the project plans and objectives are:

• Module 1: Language Crawler. This will use pre-existing tools to selectively obtain text from the web which has been identified as being of potential linguistic interest. The language of each such document will be identified through a combination of code-string analysis and character n-gram analysys and those documents authored in languages of economic, scientific and cultural interest to Australia will be identified. This material will be stored in a centralized repository for the purposes of indexing, annotation and preservation.
