ItCon: a Machine-Readable Constructicon for Italian
ItCon aims to be a Machine-Readable Constructicon.
It is composed of several elements that interact with each other to allow consulting and updating the constructicon according to multiple use cases. In particular:
- a database of constructions
- a graph that organizes the constructions into a network
- a corpus of incrementally annotated examples
- an interface for querying and visualization
To make this possible, it is necessary to precisely define the construction object, which represents the core of the resource.
Where to start
- Guide — how to formalize a construction
for ItCon: the
.yamlfile, theCoNLL-CandCoNLL-Ucformats, and the step-by-step annotation workflow. - Tools — the
adoc-toolspipeline that turns a spreadsheet export into YAML/CoNLL-C construction files, parses and extracts catena skeletons from example sentences, and converts CoNLL-C into Grew search patterns. - Publications — papers describing ItCon and its formalization.
