UW Computational Linguistics Laboratory

Corpora List and Access Policies

In order to ensure compliance with the licenses for the various corpora we have installed, we have instituted the following policies.

1. Compling laboratory members are granted access to corpora solely for coursework and research projects in the context of their affiliation with the UW.
2. Corpora may not be copied from the servers, nor used in commercial applications.
3. Many of the corpora have additional licensing conditions (see links in the list below). Before you access any particular corpus, you are responsible for reading and understanding the license, in addition to the general membership agreement.
4. For some of the corpora (marked "Restricted Access"), we must maintain a list of individuals granted access and/or have each user sign an individual license agreement. To access these corpora, you'll need to contact the lab director to obtain read permissions on the relevant directories.
5. Whenever you use a corpus for course work or for a paper, you should cite the corpus among your references. The proper citation information should be found in the license or README file of the corpus.
6. Failure to follow these policies could result in loss of access to the corpora, or to the lab/servers in general.
