DZ Interset is a means of converting among various tag sets in natural language processing. The core idea is similar to interlingua-based machine translation. DZ Interset defines a set of features that are encoded by the various tag sets. The set of features should be as universal as possible. It does not need to encode everything that is encoded by any tag set but it should encode all information that people may want to access and/or port from one tag set to another.
New tag sets are attached by writing a driver for them. Once the driver is ready, you can easily convert tags between the new set and any other set for which you also have a driver. This reusability is an obvious advantage over writing a targeted conversion procedure each time you need to convert between a particular pair of tag sets. and grant MSM 0021620838 of the Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic
Lingua::Interset is a universal morphosyntactic feature set to which all tagsets of all corpora/languages can be mapped. Version 2.026 covers 37 different tagsets of 21 languages. Limited support of the older drivers for other languages (which are not included in this package but are available for download elsewhere) is also available; these will be fully ported to Interset 2 in future.
Interset is implemented as Perl libraries. It is also available via CPAN.
