7 Conclusion and Future Work
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The TSNLP project has laid tile tbundations for buihting large scale reference data for diagnostic and evaluation imrposes. The project has produced a substantial set of test items for three different languages, which are based on a systematic and controlled methodology, comprehensively almotated, and embedded in an enviromnent; allowing for easy access and maintenance of the data. The approach has been successfully tested against commercial and research NLP applications and components.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> However, while this work can be seen as an important step in the right direction, we are very well aware of fllture developments which will be essential for a widespread acceptance of the system in a broad user coinmunity. These developments comprise amongst others further extensions of tile test data (possibly taking into account aspects of morphology and discourse), customization tools, which support the adaptation of the test data to specific domains and applications, as well as tools and methods which relate the isolated test items to corpora in order to determine their frequency and relevance. While the members of the project will continue this work, outside developers and users of NLP applications are invited to contribute to these resources which can become a reference standard only if they are truly public domain.</Paragraph>
