– Complete system combination vs. multiple component integration (e.g. decoders, chunkers etc.)

Resources

• Making our own stuff available– Data (e.g. Sara, John etc.)– Software (e.g. Ventzi, MaTrEx etc.)

• What else do we need?– Data (LDC, ELDA …)– Systems (Hiero, Stat-XFer etc.), segmenters

etc.– Gold Standards …
