Reusing Swedish Language Processing Resources in SVENSK

The SVENSK project is developing an integrated toolbox of language processing components and resources for Swedish. SVENSK employs GATE, General Architecture for Text Engineering from the University of Sheffield as a platform in which the components are to be integrated. The goal is that the resources included in SVENSK should be freely available for noncommercial use. A wide range of different modules have been incorporated so far, both in-house modules, commercially available modules, and modules from academia. The results of the integration of the modules in the GATE environment are very encouraging: it is possible to mix modules from different sources, written in programming languages from completely different paradigms and have them interact with each other, thus maintaining a high degree of reuse of algorithmical resources. However, the use of Tcl/Tk and the associated API for processing structurally relatively complex data, is time consuming and considerably slows the processing in GATE.
