OLIF - Consortium

Established in March 2000, the OLIF Consortium had its first meeting on April 6, 2000 at SAP headquarters in Walldorf, Germany. The purpose of the consortium, which is headed by SAP, is to generate and support a lexical/terminological interchange standard based on the OLIF prototype (Open Lexicon Interchange Format).

The OLIF prototype was developed within the framework of the OTELO project and distinguished itself from similar exchange formats by providing for both terminological data and the grammatical information required by NLP applications such as MT.
