Academic and commercial license agreements are available at
http://www.clres.com. Those signing a license agreement will have access
to the latest versions of DIMAP-3 as it evolves. CL Research is
especially interested in making arrangements with researchers involved in
lexicon design and content analysis. (The academic license agreement
allows students to use DIMAP-3 on their own personal computers.) Since
CL Research maintains the "Lexical Resources" page for Association for
Computational Linguistics Special Interest Group on the Lexicon
(http://www.clres.com/siglex.html), we are particularly interested in
developing dictionaries (lexicons) that can be made freely and publicly
available (and especially those which follow procedures for category
development, as described in papers available at the Web site). CL
Research will also accept beta-test and evaluation license agreements
with those interested in using DIMAP-3 for commercial purposes.
For those not interested in signing a beta-test license agreement,
DIMAP-3 can be purchased at a special pre-release, refundable price of
$200, with assurance of continued updates with the same latest version
available to beta-testers.
