Linguistics

It should be possible to identify an industrial organisation by the profile signature of the processes, skills required, materials used and the output produced.

However, across the European community, the descriptors and language variations make such profiling inaccurate. It is not clear that one is comparing like with like. Also within a given language there are nuances which imply different meanings.

This work will look at how best these differences can be minimised and perhaps lead to improved interactive systems that recognise context and provide intelligent guidance.
