Introduction -=============== - -This is the FraCaS Treebank, developed and maintained by -the Centre for Language Technolgy at University of Gothenburg: - - http://www.clt.gu.se/ - -The treebank is part of the CLT Toolkit, a set of state-of-the-art -open source Language Technology tools and accompanying linguistic -resources. The different parts of the toolkit, including the -FraCaS Treebank, can be downloaded from: - - http://www.clt.gu.se/clt-toolkit - -The treebank is built upon the FraCaS textual inference problem set, -which was built in the mid 1990’s by the FraCaS project, a large -collaboration aimed at developing resources and theories for -computational semantics. This test set was later modified and -converted to XML by Bill MacCartney: - - http://www-nlp.stanford.edu/~wcmac/downloads/fracas.xml - -It is this modified version that has been used in this treebank. -The corpus consists of 346 problems each containing one or more -statements and one yes/no-question (except for four problems, where -there is no question). The total number of sentences in the corpus is -1220, but since some of them are repeated in several problems, there -are in total 874 unique sentences. - -2. Description -============== - -The treebank is created in Grammatical Framework (GF), using its -multilingual Resource Grammar as backend grammar. Currently the -treebank is bilingual, with an English and a Swedish lexicon. - -More information about GF, including installation instructions, -can be found at: - - http://www.grammaticalframework.org/ - -The treebank is also distributed in XML and Prolog formats, -for people that have no interest in learning GF. Note however -that the syntactical constructions come from the GF resource grammar. - -3. Download and installation -============================ - -The full distribution can be downloaded from -`<dist/FraCaSBank-0.2.zip>`_. - -The Prolog and XML treebanks are already generated, so to use these -you don't need anything else. But if you want to work with the GF -source files, you need a GF installation including the Resource Grammar. - -4. Contents -=========== - -a) Documentation ----------------- - -The documentation is located in the `doc directory <doc>`_: - -``FraCaSBank-report.{pdf,lyx,bib}``: - A technical report describing the treebank, together with - the `LyX <http://www.lyx.org>`_ and - `BibTeX <http://www.bibtex.org>`_ source files. - The PDF version can be `read here <doc/FraCaSBank-report.pdf>`_. - -b) GF source files ------------------- - -The grammar sources are located in the `src directory <src>`_: - -``Additions*.gf`` - Generic additions to the GF Resource Grammar. - -``FraCaS*.gf`` - Grammatical constructions specific to the FraCaS domain. - -``FraCaSLex*.gf`` - The lexical items in the FraCaS treebank. - -``FraCaSBank*.gf`` - The actual treebank. - The file ``FraCaSBankOriginal.gf`` contains the original treebank sentences. - The file ``FraCaSBankI.gf`` contains the language-independent abstract syntax trees. - -c) Other files --------------- - -``Makefile, build_fracasbank.py`` - Files for automatically generating the XML and Prolog treebank. - -``build/FraCaSBank.{xml,pl}`` - The automatically generated - `XML treebank <build/FraCaSBank.xml>`_ and - `Prolog treebank <build/FraCaSBank.pl>`_. - -``dist/FraCaSBank*.zip`` - All files collected in a zip file. - -``README.txt, COPYING.txt``: - The `source <README.txt>`_ of this README file, and `GNU GPL 3 <COPYING.txt>`_ licensing information. |
