2 Project Goals and Expected Outcomes
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The central goals of the project are: * to produce a practical, commonly-shared system for representing the information conveyed by a text, or &amp;quot;interlingua&amp;quot;, * to develop a methodology for accurately and consistently assigning such representations to texts across languages and across annotators, * to annotate a sizable multilingual parallel corpus of source language texts and translations for IL content.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> This corpus is expected to serve as a basis for improving meaning-based approaches to MT and a range of other natural language technologies. The tools and annotation standards will serve to facilitate more rapid annotation of texts in the future.</Paragraph>
