On the Way to a Legal Sharing of Web Applications in NLP

摘要

For some years now, web services have been employed in Natural Language Processing (NLP) for a number of uses and within a number of sub-areas. Web services allow users to gain access to distant applications without having the need to install them on their local machines. A large paradigm of advantages can be obtained from a practical and development point of view. However, the legal aspects behind this sharing should not be neglected and should be openly discussed so as to understand the implications behind such data exchanges and tool uses. In the framework of PANACEA, this paper highlights the different points involved and describes the work done in order to handle all the legal aspects behind those points.
