Mission Statement

Goal of ARC Proposal

1. To create prototype software
   
2. To perform analysis of text using 3 different linguistic theories:
   
   • Metamodel
     
   • Systemic Functional Grammar
     
   • RST
     
3. Data Analysis
   • Domestic Violence Interviews
   • VELM

• Dr Alice Caffarel, University of Sydney
  
• Cassily Charles, University of Sydney
• Michael Dowman, University of Sydney
  
• Prof. James Martin, University of Sydney
  
• A/Prof. Christian Matthiessen, Macquarie University
  
• Prof. Jon Patrick, University of Sydney

Appraise Data Analysis: appraise linguistic theories in relation to Data Analysis
Linguistic Theory: advise on linguistic theories to be implemented
Computational Linguistics: the linguistic structures suited to computational identification
System Design: designing the structure of the computational system
System Development: writing and debugging the program code for the working system
Data Analysis/Interpretation: make the meaningful interpretation of the analysed text
Data Preparation: performing mark-up of the text chosen for analysis

Immediate Project Work

1. Jon, Stephen, Hong - Identify XML editor for data preparation
   
2. Jim, Christian - Identify shallow SFG structures for markup and design tagset
   
3. Jon, Stephen, Hong - ditto for Metamodel
   
4. Jon - Complete Domestic Violence interview summaries
   

People's Activity: 1999 - early 2000

1. Jim and Christian
   - Write linguistic background to justify generic software
   - Specify its expected performance achievements
   
2. Jon and Steve
   - Design architecture of
   
   Knowledge representation
   Computational processes
   Text storage and representation
   
3. Everyone
   
   -Project Budget and Specification
   -What help do you want for doing what you want done and how much will you pay for it.
