Interoperable Arabic language resources building and exploitation in SAFAR platform

This article presents the logic followed by our team in Arabic language resources building processes. Our approach consists to deliver to the community some useful resources respecting interoperability rules based on the Lexical Markup Framework standard, enclosing linguistic features gathered by a team of linguists and easily usable through three offered methods that are the direct exploitation of resource files, the use of the SAFAR resources API or the online browsing provided by the SAFAR web.
