Swedish FrameNet++ workshop 2014

The Swedish FrameNet++ (SweFN++) project is funded by the Swedish Research Council for the years 2011-2014 (nr 2010-6013) and with a strategic research grant from the University of Gothenburg for the focus research area language technology (2009-2015).

The goal of the project is to build an open-content -- i.e., freely available and modifiable -- integrated lexical resource for Swedish -- so far lacking -- to be used as a basic infrastructural component in Swedish language technology (LT) research and in the development of LT applications for Swedish.

The funding period of the Swedish Research Council grant will end this year, and the main aim of this open workshop is to provide an accessible overview of the current status and accomplishments of the project.
