    Thanks to Lee, Susana, Eric, and Andrew for their replies, excerpted
    below.

       From Lee Gillam <l.gillam@eim.surrey.ac.uk>

         Try "Lexical Annotation Framework" as a Google search - this activity
         is running through ISO TC37 SC4 and should become a standard some time in the
         next 18-24 months.

       From Susana Sotelo Docío <ssd@linghoo.com>

          take a look at OLIF (http://www.olif.net/), Open Lexicon Interchange
          Format. It intends to be a lexicon and terminology exchange standard,
          and it is based on XML.

       From Eric Atwell <eric@comp.leeds.ac.uk>

          I assume you mean lexico-grammatical annotation i.e. Part-of-Speech
          tagging standards? Shereen Khoja and Andrew Hardie finished PhDs at
          Lancaster last year which included analyses of how EAGLES-style tagsets
          extend beyond EU languages to Arabic (Khoja) and Urdu (Hardie);

       From Andrew Hardie <a.hardie@blueyonder.co.uk>

          I just thought I'd let you know that my thesis on Urdu is now
          available - hopefully it will be on the web before too long, but for
          now if you'd like to see any part of it (e.g. the chapter on my
          EAGLES-compliant POS tagset for Urdu) I can send it to you by email.

    Cheers,

      Philip
