Low-cost ontology development

In this paper, we present the project building new lexical resource -- shallow ontology derived from the corpora. The ontology should be used primarily for machine translation, syntactic parsing and word sense disambiguation. Currently, the ontology for Czech language is developed, but the methodology and tools are suitable for other languages with similar structure. Ontology is based on BushBank corpus, which improves handling of ambiguity in natural language. BushBank data and tools are application-driven, thus reducing the time and costs needed to annotate the corpora and develop new lexical resources.V článku je představen projekt budování nového lexikálního zdroje - mělké ontologie odvozené z korpusu. Ontologie by měla být primárně použita pro strojový překlad, syntaktické parsování a dezambiguaci významu slov. V současné době probíhá tvorba ontologie pro češtinu, ale metodologie a nástroje jsou vhodné i pro další jazyky s podobnou strukturou. Ontologie je založena na korpusu BushBank, který vylepšuje práci s nejednoznačnostmi v přirozeném jazyce. Data a nástroje BushBank jsou založena na aplikacích, tím se redukuje čas a náklady potřebné k anotaci korpusu a tvorby lexikálních zdrojů

Educational Resource Management

The management of resources is a central duty for school and college leaders, but one for which they are often under-prepared. Good, contextual information and guidance are vital, especially as increased marketisation, international comparison and decentralised governance put additional pressure on leaders to manage their resources astutely. This second edition of Educational Resource Management: An International Perspective is an updated guide to all aspects of this key responsibility and how they are applied in today’s real-world situations across the globe. Following a detailed overview of funding and resource management in public and private provision, the book looks at the criteria by which the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of the management of educational resources may be judged. It goes on to explore cost structures, budgets and the principles of asset management, all illustrated through case studies that draw on practitioner experiences and the authors’ observations in a range of national contexts. Concluding with a review of current tensions in educational resource management and pointers towards further study, the book is a succinct yet comprehensive guide for school and college leaders. It will be essential reading for those studying the subject as part of Masters and Professional Doctorate qualifications
