   The intent of the DDLOD project is to semi-automatically capture a picture of the semantic space of the field of linguistics, and use this "snapshot" to make the Generalized Ontology for Linguistic Description (GOLD) as complete and comprehensive as possible.  A recently funded supplement to this grant seeks to make the data store of Interlinear texts that are mined available to the linguistics community.  You can access a list of links to URL resources by language through the OLAC interface at LinguistList, or by directly accessing the ODIN (Online Database of Interlinear) website.
