LangDoc: Bibliographic infrastructure for linguistic typology
The present paper describes the ongoing project LangDoc to make a bibliography
website for linguistic typology, with a near-complete database of references to documents that contain descriptive data on the languages of the world. This is intended to provide typologists with a more precise and
comprehensive way to search for information on languages, and for the specific kind information that they are interested in. The annotation scheme devised is a trade-off between annotation effort and search desiderata. The end goal is a website with browse, search, update, new items subscription
and download facilities, which can hopefully be enriched by spontaneous collaborative efforts.
