| Savona |
This
research focuses on the design and implementation of a WWW-based software environment for
supporting multidisciplinary teams of human and software agents ("societies of
agents") that are collaborating on complex scientific, technological and societal
issues. CRL’s interest is in performing basic research on how best to assist teams of
human experts in the management of information from a wide variety of sources. |

| Habanara |
The
Habanera Lexical Knowledge Base Management System provides support for building and using
large NLP lexical resources, including multilingual dictionaries. Dictionary entries are
encoded using the Tango language. Database support is provided by the PSE-Pro or
ObjectStore databases. Habanera includes a library of classes which can be used to build
different applications; and a Graphical User Interface which supports the needs of
different kinds of user
(administrator, linguist, acquirer). |

| Calypso |
The
Calypso Document Architecture provides support for building NLP applications: the
architecture is derived from the Tipster Document Architecture which has been augmented to
support the needs of complex NLP applications such as machine translation systems. The
Calypso Document Manager is an object database specialized in managing document objects.
It has both an Application Programming Interface (API) which is used to build
applications, and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) which allows to view and manipulate
documents stored in a Document Manager.
The Calypso Application Framework is a set of tools used to wrap legacy NLP tools, develop
new NLP components, and integrate components to build an application. The Calypso
Application Framework Environment (CAFE) provides a set of libraries; a graphical editor
for rapid integration of legacy components; and a graphical debugger which allows to step
through a whole application and visualize the result of each individual component. |

| Boas |
Boas is a
semi-automatic knowledge elicitation system that guides a team of two people through the
process of developing the static knowledge sources for a moderate-quality, broad-coverage
MT system from any "low-density" language into English in about six months.
Boas is, thus, effectively, a model of a field linguist; specifically, a computational
linguist building static knowledge sources (grammars, dictionaries, etc.) for an NLP
application. |
