RefCo: An initiative to develop a set of quality criteria for fieldwork corpora
Abstract
RefCo is an initiative led by the QUEST project which aims at ensuring the quality of corpora from linguistic fieldwork. The objective is to establish criteria for reusable corpora, especially for comparative linguistic research. The initiative addresses both existing corpora, through the implementation of a quality label, and future corpora, through guidelines for best practices. RefCo is composed of three different modules defining the quality criteria for, firstly, all corpora, secondly for audiovisual content, and thirdly, for interlinear morpheme glosses. Finally, a system producing citations is also developed in order to facilitate corpus citation.
