Preface

The general markup language XML has played an outstanding role in the multiple ways of processing electronic documents, XML being used either in the design of interface structures or as a formal framework for the representation of structure or content-related properties of documents. This book in its 13 chapters discusses aspects of XML-based linguistic information modeling combining: methodological issues, especially with respect to text-related information modeling, applicationoriented research and issues of formal foundations. The contributions in this book are based on current research in Text Technology, Computational Linguistics and in the international domain of evolving standards for language resources. Recurrent themes in this book are markup languages, explored from different points of view, and topics of text-related information modeling. These topics have been core areas of the research Unit “Text-technological Information Modeling” (www.texttechnology.de) funded from 2002 to 2009 by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Positions developed in this book could also benefit from the presentations and discussion at the conference “Modelling Linguisti
