    Dear all,

    Since posting my original summary on this I've received a couple more
    contributions. I've tacked the new references to the top of my original
    summary so that it's all together.

    Cheers,
    Aleem

    Subject: [Corpora-List] **SUMMARY** semantic tagging

    Dear all,

    Thanks for the replies I've received on this.

    Inevitably I haven't had chance to wade-through everything yet, but I'm
    posting a summary of what I've had.

    I'm still after some papers on semantic typing (which I guess will be
    ontology driven) so if anyone can point me in the direction of some useful
    papers to give me a kick-start on that, then that would be fabulous.

    Cheers,
    Aleem
