Background

Ever since we re-launched the public DELPH-IN web pages, several of us (in the Standing Committee, and beyond) have felt we should try to produce a mission statement for DELPH-IN, i.e. a comparatively short, concise text that spells out high-level, important (defining, in a sense) aspects of the collaboration.

Candidate Values

DELPH-IN capitalizes on

• linguistic precision: DELPH-IN continues the tradition of declarative (unification- or constraint-based) formal grammar, with deep roots in Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG).

• integrating syntax and semantics: DELPH-IN aims to

• scale and useability: DELPH-IN targets ‘realistic’ language data, enabling the analysis of running text

• sustainability:

• collaboration and re-use: DELPH-IN develops and maintains a shared, open-source repository of interoperable tools and grammars.
