【 摘 要 】

We present a linguistic application that uses web technologies to promote the reuse of research data in the form of Interlinear Glossed Text (IGT), which is a well-established data format within philology and the structural and generative fields of linguistics. Here we present the modules and procedures of the online database TypeCraft.3 IGT is a sought after commodity in NLP and an integral part of scholarly linguistic work. It not rarely represents the only structured data available for less-resourced or endangered languages. While archiving of structured data from endangered languages is already well on its way [2], the free creation and exchange of linguistic data in the form of linked IGTs still needs to gain in popularity.
