Developing an Online Indonesian Corpora Repository

This paper describes efforts to develop an online repository of Indonesian corpora –and its associated functions and services– that has been designed to support a wide variety of use cases and applications. Two design considerations are ensuring sustainability and accessibility of the corpora, and enabling open enrichment through annotation. The presented model supports OLAC-compliant metadata, is built atop an OAIS-compliant core repository, and exposes data and functionality via RESTful web services. A prototype implementation is presented, which allows users to upload, browse, and search the collection, whose extensible content model currently supports POS tagging. The future plan is for language-independent aspects of the system to be packaged up and released as an open-source package to aid the development of corpora repositories for other languages.
