5 Conclusion

 

We have reported on a project to annotate biblical texts in order to create an aligned multilingual Bible corpus for research purposes. At present, we have implemented a standard intermediate-level annotation, delimiting book, chapter, and verse, for a growing collection of languages. The availability of on-line versions of the Bible leads us to be optimistic about the prospect of creating a resource that covers a wide variety of languages and will be valuable to specialists in translation, linguistics, and the computational analysis of language.
