LogonTop

Overview

These pages, over time, will provide documentation on the [http://www.emmtee.net LOGON] machine translation infrastructure. The system is comprised of several independent components, each with its own set of parameters and quirks. Access to LOGON technology at present (i.e. as of June 2006) is provided to consortium members and cooperating partners through CVS, and most of the available documentation is specific to this mode of delivery. At the same time, [http://www.emmtee.net/ftp regular source snapshots] are available for public download already, although functionality may be limited (for the time being), and we will need to update and extend the documentation. Should you be interested in actively using LOGON technology at this point, we kindly encourage making contact with the project management (see below).

Table of Contents

Following is a list of topics for which documentation exists (or should be ported from LOGON-internal workspace postings). Feel free to add additional materials, but please make sure to create adequate wiki names for new pages, all prefixed with Logon.

• LogonInstallation: System Requirements, Download and Installation Notes

• LogonMrs: Background on the Specific Use of the MRS Formalism in LOGON

• LogonProcessing: Documentation of Various Batch Processing Facilities
