LangDoc: Bibliographic infrastructure for linguistic typology

Hammarström, H., & Nordhoff, S. (2011). LangDoc: Bibliographic infrastructure for linguistic typology. Oslo Studies in Language, 3(2), 31-43. Retrieved from https://www.journals.uio.no/index.php/osla/article/view/75.
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.
