====== Linguistic Application Development ======

One of the [[start]] group's core competencies is the development of custom-made applications. Most applications we have developed to date are either made to facilitate exploration of language data in interactive ways, using innovative visualization techniques, or to serve as annotation tools. Our expertise includes:

  * Workflow applications for the management and annotation of linguistic data
  * Exploration of language data collections
  * Ready-made scientific tools for university and/or industry
  * Technology transfer to scale to real-world data
  * Interactive visualization techniques
  * Analysis of data over space and time (geospatial data, diachronic corpora)
  * Annotation tools and interfaces
  * Web applications for Public Engagement, Crowd Sourcing, and Citizen Science

===== Examples of our work =====

==== Tools for managing research data ====

GallRom -- multi-purpose application for storing digitized historic documents (corpus tool), structural querying and annotatation of this corpus (linguistic research tool), managing complex document metadata and associated secondary literature (bibliography tool), as well as writing dictionary articles based on primary and secondary sources (lexicographical tool).
