Participants:

• Peter Beinema
• Thomas Omma
• Sjur Moshagen

Agenda

• since last time
• questions and answers

Since last time

Polderland:

• received new versions of lexica & compiled them
• received first version of hyphenated lexicon yesterday (did not look at it yet)
• created localized version of spelling checker - probably finished today (localized = uses the Sámi character set for tokenization)

Divvun:

• substantial progress with hyphenation and normativity in the delivered data
• delivered hyphenated North Sámi
• the conversion tool from our Xerox-based format to PLX is progressing, but not yet finished

Next:

• the first version of the speller: -)

Possible issues

Nothing more than we already have discussed.

Hyphenation

The delivered data contains the following symbols:

# - word break
^ - soft hyphen
- - hard/lexicalised hyphen

The delivery of the Alpha version for the hyphenator will be slightly delayed compared to the deadline October 31. The speller will be delivered on time. The hyphenator delay is not a problem for the project.

Lule Sámi

There is probably no need for hyphenated Lule Sámi data yet.

Next meeting

Next Tuesday at 9: 30 Norwegian / Dutch time as normal.

• continue to improve hyphenation (Sjur and Thomas)
• continue with speller data generation/conversion (Tomi)
• get language codes to work with Mac Office 2004 (and check MacOffice 2007) ( Polderland)
• deliver Lule Sámi hyphenation test data (Sjur and Børre)
