D3.4 Language Resource and Service Linking

This document is a short report that accompanies the software deliverable D3.4 “Language Resource and Service Linking''. The idea is to serve as a guideline of the different linking algorithms and systems developed in Prêt-à-LLOD as part of the “Prêt-à-LLOD-Link'' component: what are their basic functionalities, how the different  sub-components are interrelated, and how they relate with other Prêt-à-LLOD components, particularly “Prêt-à-LLOD-Transform'' and “Prêt-à-LLOD-Workflows”. The document serves also as a pointer to the repositories where the code, along with a more complete  technical documentation, is available.
While the initial Prêt-à-LLOD linking software is released with this deliverable, it will be continuously improved and updated until later stages of the project. In fact, further testing and development is expected as part of the integration of the linking component with the “Language Resource Transformation Software” (deliverable D3.3, due in month M33), with the pilots (deliverables D4.3, D4.5, D4.7, D4.9, due in month M36), and as part of the progress of the overall Prêt-à-LLOD research challenges (deliverable D3.6, due in month M39). Such deliverable D3.6 will provide the final snapshot of the software component initially delivered in D3.4, and will update its status at the end of the project.
