Type	Speech database, recordings of scripted frame utterances with a target words representing realizations of the Norwegian tonal accents in different dialect systematized for accent, structure of stressed syllable, syllable count, structure of phonological word, position in phrase, etc. Originates in a project funded by the Norwegian Research Council 2000-2002: Norsk tonelagstypologi. 20,595 individual sound files from 116 recordings, each of one speaker. Each recording consists of the same set of 69 short utterances, read twice. Most of the recordings are split into separate files and organized in a Filemaker database.
Size	6.7 GB, 20,595 sound files
Languages	30 different Norwegian dialects
Rightholders	Gjert Kristoffersen, University of Bergen
Anticipated access policy	Free for research purposes
Anticipated reuse policy	Free for research purposes
Anticipated location	University of Bergen
Effort needed (a) technical (b) nontechnical	8pw. If opting for the Imdi metadata standard and the Elan annotation tool, the original 'unsplit' recordings should be stored as single Elan files. Annotations will have to be added to these files utterance by utterance. All recordings contain the same utterances (although not necessarily in the same order), possibly facilitating this task. An Imdi template based on one of the informants already exists. Since most of the metadata are already defined in the Filemaker database, this should help speed up the remaining work.
Rationale for selection	Of interest for linguists working with linguistic tone and intonation. There is a small international community interested in Scandinavian tonal accents. Use of the resource will probably presuppose a certain knowledge of a Scandinavian language, but this will to a certain extent also depend on the level of detail of the linguistic metadata provided. These are not sufficient today in this respect.
Present usage	Have mostly been used by the participants of the original project, but other colleagues have from time to time also used parts of the data

Automatic alignment assumes sentences are related 1-1, 1-2, 1-0, 2-1, or 0-1. The process is helped by "anchor files" which contains pairs of words/phrases that are more or less translations of each other. The program is based on earlier program by Knut Holfland and a lot of (his) experience with sentence alignment. On the whole users are very satisfied.
Present usage	Used by 10 users in 8 projects for 6 language pairs.
Similar resources or cooperations	Several command driven aligners exist, but not so many with a GUI.

83. LEXIN

Type	Web-based dictionaries made especially for immigrants in Norway. In addition to information about parts of speech, inflection and pronunciation, the dictionary includes simple explanations and examples of everyday usage, concrete as well as metaphorical. The Norwegian LEXIN project is based on a Swedish dictionary series of the same name. In Sweden, the LEXIN dictionaries have been translated into more than 20 languages and are published both electronically and in printed versions. Since 1996 Uni Digital, commissioned by the Ministry of Education, Research and Church Affairs, the Norwegian Board of Education (from 1999), and the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training (since 2004) has worked on developing corresponding dictionaries for Norwegian. The current inventory consists of a Bokmål dictionary, a Nynorsk dictionary, a Bokmål-Nynorsk dictionary, and 25 dictionaries from Bokmål or Nynorsk to 13 languages. 3 dictionaries currently under development.
Size	28 dictionaries
Languages	Norwegian, Arabic, Kurdish (Kurmanji), Kurdish (Sorani), Persian, Polish, Russian, Somali, Tamil, Thai, Tigrinya, Turkish, Urdu, English.

84. Scarrie proofreading tool

Type	Proofreading tool. The Norwegian part of SCARRIE aims at advanced spelling correction in Bokmål. It uses word form dictionaries in combination with special mechanisms for handling multi-word expressions and for recognizing newly seen compounds, proper names and other words not present in the dictionaries. In cooperation with Norwegian University of Science and Technology, a suitable Norwegian word form dictionary has been built. Predictable misspellings are supplied with recommendations for corrections. New compounds are detected by an analysis based on rules supplied by the University of Oslo. Words that are outside the scope of the dictionary and are likely errors are processed by the correction mechanisms including sound-based similarity. In addition, a robust grammar was developed for the detection and correction of certain classes of errors which cannot be handled at word level, i.e. agreement errors. Finally, corrections are carried out so as to fit in the written norm which the document is written in (on a range from conservative to radical Bokmål).

101. The Norwegian NST lexicon

Type	Meta-lexicon complied of several resources. The lexicon was augmented with data from a Norwegian inflector program. The inflector's in-data consist of 50 000 base forms. These are identical to those in NorKompLeks – a bought resource based on Bokmålsordboka. The base forms are converted to SAMPA and manually controlled and if necessary, changed to NST's transcription conventions. The transcriptions of approx. 254 000 entries are manually controlled, while the 499 000 entries generated from the inflector are only partially controlled. All entries, except garbage terms, are annotated with information in all obligatory fields.The vocabulary is general and no special domains are represented. The lexicon consists of the 100k-list. All terms in the NST-recording manuscripts are transcribed in the lexicon. Further, the lexicon contains all entries in the Bokmålsordboka (via NorKompLeks/inflector) including conjugated forms and all terms in the SpeechDat-material. More person names, place names, company names, etc. (from e.g., Onomastica) have been added to the lexicon in later projects.

108. Bokmål corpus by NST

Type	Text corpus. The Bokmål Corpus was to some extent cleaned up before the development of manuscript sentences and lexical data took place. The resulting corpus consists of text files with approx. 735 M words, while the complete corpus consists of approx. 975 words. The clean-up consisted of conversions from proprietary formats to text files, removal of duplicates, and removal of unusable files (e.g., tiff-files, QuarkXpresss, FrameMaker, etc.). The work is limited to conversions into text format. The texts contain all text in the original documents. Anonymisation of correspondence was not done - something which would be necessary for general distribution and usage of the material. The material lacks tagging of linguistic information (POS, lemma, etc.). In some of the material, structure is marked (paragraphs, headings, etc.). This was done by the supplier and does not follow a standard defined for the corpus project (or any other xml/sgml-standard.) NST started to code the corpus in XML. Some of the ITAvisen-texts are coded with structural information. 3.8 M words (0,4% of the complete material) were coded in this way. Only texts from ITAvisen were coded and no corresponding Nynorsk material is available.

120. The Lexical Source Manuscript (Grunnmanuskriptet)

Type	Lexicography, electronic dictionaries: Grunnmanuskriptet is an old dictionary manuscript from the 1930s (approximately 13500 typewritten A4 pages). The entries were collected from the dictionaries by Aasen, Ross, Schjøtt, Vidsteen, Torp and others, but the definitions for the entries are all given in Nynorsk. The manuscript was never published as a dictionary, but has provided the basis for the development of the Norwegian Dictionary (Norsk Ordbok). This manuscript has now been recorded as electronic text and marked in a way that enables the reader to find information such as dialects with their location, etymology, quotations and sources.

121. Literary texts, Bokmål

Type	Texts: Through the Documentation Project, a large part of the Bokmål text material found in the Section for Norwegian Lexicography and Dialectology in the Department for Scandinavian Languages and Comparative Literature at the University of Oslo was digitized. The material in the archives consists of several card files with excerpts from Norwegian literature. Instead of digitizing the material in the author archives, the complete texts were scanned in. The scanned material includes texts dating from (approximately)1550 to 1900, but most of it is from the 1800s. A total of 60000 book pages were scanned in.

123. Texts in Nynorsk

Type	Texts: The scanned material from the Nynorsk project section is made up primarily of texts of which only fragments are given in the card file. These texts will therefore supplement the card-file database. The material includes a number of complete literary texts by various authors writing in Nynorsk, the 1921 edition of the Bible in Nynorsk, a selection of books from the Norwegian Folklore Association series (NFL), and some complete annual volumes of "Syn og Segn", a Nynorsk literary journal. In addition, a selection of older collections of words (see above) have been scanned in. The scanned material will provide the basis for a larger body of texts which will be made available for free text searches. These texts are not accessible at this stage.

A total of approximately 180000 entries has been collected giving examples of the variations of the Trøndelag dialect. The examples have been collected from literature and from the spoken language. The entries are of the same type as those contributing to the Norwegian Dictionary (Norsk Ordbok). They consist of a key word, information about or examples of how the word is used, and information about the source of the recorded information.

127. The New Words Database

Type	Word Archives: The New Words Archives at the Section for Norwegian Lexicography and Dialectology in the Department for Scandinavian Languages and Comparative Literature at the University of Oslo, contains quotations from newspapers, journals and magazines. There are approximately 300000 quotes from 174 different sources. The compilation of this database has been going on for several decades, so the term "new word" should be interpreted in an historical perspective. The word was new, or had acquired a new meaning, or had come to be used in a different way at the time of registration. This edition of the New Words Database consists of 116005 quotes, the majority of which are from the years 1968 to 1972. However, the oldest entries are from 1920 while the most recent ones are from 1994. The number of quotations will gradually increase as more of the material is processed. In each citation one or more of the words are selected (excerpted) and dealt with (this edition offers a total of 195744 excerpts). The excerpted words are transformed to their basic form and provided with a code for grammatical function (part of speech) and other relevant codes. Simple words (including derivatives and composites) are marked with a single code for grammatical function while composite words are given codes for both word elements although it is the last element that determines the grammatical function of the composite word. One hundred four different auxiliary codes provide information about morphology, phraseology, imagery, etc.

Type	Folklore Studies: In its work with the ballad material, the Documentation Project has aimed to make a scholarly edition of Norwegian ballads in electronic format which faithfully reproduces the original. The original material, housed in several different archives, includes original manuscripts of ballad texts, old notations of the tunes and audio recordings of old and more recent renditions of the ballads. This collection represents 240 types of Norwegian ballads. Approximately 3900 different varieties have been digitized in this project. The material is extensive and varied. Some of the digitized texts are accompanied by notations of the tunes and audio recordings.

130. Court proceedings and protocols

Type	Digitized records of 1600s and 1700s court proceedings at the lowest courts, where a public registrar or a notary public presided as judge. The records include accounts of disagreements over debts, conflicts between neighbors, broken marriage vows as well as serious criminal acts. The Gothic handwriting is different from printed Gothic text as well as from modern handwriting. The language used in the protocols is unfamiliar, being influenced formal, official styles of Danish and German. Furthermore, the texts include a large number of peculiar symbols and abbreviations. The oldest preserved Norwegian court protocols are from Rogaland in southwestern Norway (Jæren and Dalane, 1613, and Ryfylke, 1616) and Finnmark (1620) in the far north. In 1633 a royal decree ordered the recording of court protocols at the lower courts in Norway. Nonetheless, we have only a few from the first half of the 1600s. However, after the introduction of absolute monarchy in 1660, compliance with this decree seems to have been the rule though many of the records from this period have been lost. After 1700 the court protocols were systematically stored in well-organized volumes but, even so, there are occasional gaps.

Type	Medival Material: Diplomatarium Norvegicum is a series of text sources which give a verbatim and linguistically faithful reading of documents older than 1570. It is now, in 1998, 150 years since the first volume was published; the first of a total of 22 volumes which include approximately 19000 documents. As the foremost example of Norwegian source editions, Diplomatarium Norvegicum is the principal source for anyone working with medieval text material. A facsimile of a diploma from 1224. The black and white facsimile is of moderately good quality. You can find the digital text by searching in the database.

132. Henrik Wergeland - collected works

Type	Literature: The texts in this web edition equal those found in the 23 volume edition edited by Herman Jæger, Didrik Arup Seip, Halvdan Koht and Einar Høigård, published by Steenske Forlag, Kristiana/Oslo 1918-40. As part of the Bokmål project, the texts were scanned and extensively coded in SGML. The web presentation (as html documents) is generated automatically from this coding. This makes the graphical layout of some of the pages look strange. We will continue to enhance the typgraphical quality. When printing these texts, one should be aware that some printers divide html documents somewhat on random. We have planned to make PDF versions of all the texts. These can be read by the program "ACROBAT READER" (which is published along with web browsers). The PDF format is better suited to maintain typography at print.

Type	Place names: O. Rygh’s collection, "Norwegian Farm Names" (Norske Gaardsnavne) consists of 18 volumes, one for each of the Norwegian counties. It contains information about all Norwegian farms and some of their subunits, amounting to a total of 55000 entries. The names are organized according to districts and by consecutive, increasing farm registration numbers. The electronic version of this collection ("Elektroniske Norske Gaardsnavne") is being created with support from the Norwegian Research Council and from the following counties: Østfold, Vestfold, Akershus, Rogaland, Hordaland, Møre og Romsdal, Sogn og Fjordane, Sør-Trøndelag and Nord-Trøndelag.

134. The Land Register Draft of 1950 (Matrikkelutkastet frå 1950)

Type	Place names: The Norwegian Finance Department has compiled approximately 85000 lists of real estate in Norway, organized by consecutive, increasing farm numbers within each municipality. The revision of the land register was never completed, and since Finnmark county is not included in the lists, they are referred to as a draft. In addition to farm names, the draft includes the names of private homes, vacation homes, lots, public and private institutions, etc. The land register draft is an important tool for the State Name-Consultancy Service (Statens navnekonsulenttjeneste) in its efforts to standardize place names. Since it also includes the names of the owners of all the listed properties, it can also be of use to researchers studying names of people. In fact, it is often the only accessible comprehensive source of names for newer properties.

Effort needed (a) technical (b) nontechnical	n/a
Rationale for selection	There are two important assumtions made in Norsyg that distinguishes it from other implemented grammars. First, the linking between the syntax and the mantics is done in the syntax, rather than in the lexicon. And second, the topic is realized at the bottom of the tree, and not at the top.

151. Stockholm MULtilingual TReebank (SMULTRON)

Type	A parallel treebank first developed by the Computational Linguistics Group at the Department of Linguistics, at Stockholm University. Contains aligned syntactic trees for (among others) Norwegian, English and German. Version 1.0 contains around 1000 sentences in English, German and Swedish. The sentences have been PoS-tagged and annotated with phrase structure trees. The trees have been aligned on sentence, phrase and word level. Additionally, the German and Swedish monolingual treebanks contain lemma information. The Institute of Computational Linguistics continues the work on the SMULTRON project. Version 2.0 is an extension of the original treebank with a new text type: 500 sentences from a user manual in English, German, Swedish and Spanish. Currently SMULTRON treebanks with around 1500 sentences (version 2.0) in TIGER-XML format in 9 treebank files (Spanish not yet included) plus 8 alignment files are being distributed.
