TyDI: Terminology Design Interface

A platform for the validation, structuration and export of termino-ontologies

Target users and customers

The primary use of TyDI is the design of termino-ontologies for the indexation of textual documents. It can therefore be of great help for most projects involved in natural language processing.

Application sectors

Terminology structuration
Textual document indexation
Natural language processing

Description:

TyDI is a collaborative tool for manual validation/annotation of terms either originating from terminologies or extracted from training corpus of textual documents. It is used on the output of so-called term extractor programs (like Yatea), which are used to identify candidate terms (e.g. compound nouns). Thanks to TyDI, a user can validate candidate terms and specify synonymy/hyperonymy relations. These annotations can then be exported in several formats, and used in other Natural Language Processing tools.
