bamberg project 2008

currently work on a proposal for the European Social Fund (via bavarian regional programm http://www.esf2007-2013.bayern.de/)

Distributed terminology framework / grid with Mediawiki

The general scope is to implement grids based on MediaWiki that enable knowledge transfer in a collaborative and authoritative way. As example in the project:

Provide and establish a framework for distributed collaborative management and creation of terminological resources for use in (vocational) training with focus on secondary language acquisition.

• Implement a technical framework where institutions can maintain, share and distribute ressources
• Add functionality to mediawiki that allows modelling of institution-specific distributed and authoritative views
• Add sematic technology

whatever:

• collect and create terminological content
• Implementation of relevant functionality for management and use of terminological content
  • for users and learners in multilinugal situations
  • for institutions providing terminological information
• distributed
• GPL / GFDL and CC-by for all results of the funded project

Functionality

• associate term occurrences in webpages to wiki items (e.g word to definition / translation)
  • do that on existing webcontent
  • offer disambiguation for homograph forms
  • provide a add expression toolbar
  • support for creating resources
  • browsing and indicating missing terms
• link back from wiki-items to publicly annotated occurrences
  • link back to restricted occurences that are available to a special user context
  • link back to similar occurences (same url prefix for example)
• check approaches for machine support on the tasks above
• support mobile devices and olpc -Machines (including merging from offline edits on olpc-machines)
• attach media to expressions (pronunciations, images, ?sign language)
