[Standards] Jan Odijk's draft on interoperability

[Koenraad De Smedt]

Dear all,

I would like to point out that in November 2017, Jan Odijk produced a new version of his memo on interoperability (attached) and this version was presented and discussed at the NCF meeting in Helsinki.
There is no great difference between the 2016 and 2017 versions, but the latter is a little more careful in its formulation of suggestions.
Meanwhile, the NCF has asked Jan to set up an NCF subcommittee on interoperability.

With best wishes for 2018,

Koenraad

CONLL-U is different, since you know it will be a parsed text and you know the semantics of each column.

Of course the suggested framework may be applied to any tool or application, but a good place to start could be those tools and services that are submitted by centers as a part of their B assessment, as well as those that are explicitly mentioned on the <clarin.eu <http://clarin.eu/>> website.
