The current version of NDT has been automatically converted to the UD scheme by Ingerid Løyning Dale, Per Erik Solberg and Andre Kåsen at the Norwegian Language Bank at the National Library of Norway. This conversion builds to a large extent on previous conversions by Lilja Øvrelid at the University of Oslo. ## Introduction > NDT was developed 2011-2014 at the National Library of Norway in collaboration with the Text Laboratory and the Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo. NDT contains around 300,000 tokens taken from a variety of genres. The treebank texts have been manually annotated for morphosyntactic information. The morphological annotation mainly follows mainly the [Oslo-Bergen Tagger](http://tekstlab.uio.no/obt-ny/). The syntactic annotation follows, to a large extent, the Norwegian Reference Grammar, as well as a dependency annotation scheme formulated at the outset of the annotation project and iteratively refined throughout the construction of the treebank.

Petter Hohle created the splits for the Norwegian UD treebank. The splits were created by concatenating the following files (available with the distribution of NDT): > > Training data (15696 sentences, 180 individual files): > > - ap001_0000 -- ap012_0002 (53 files) > - bt001_0000 -- bt005_0001 (28 files) > - db001a_0000 -- db013_0004 (42 files) > - kk001_0000 -- kk005_0001 (10 files) > - sp-bm001_0000 -- sp-bm001_0008 (9 files) > - vg001_0000 -- vg002_0003 (8 files) > - blogg-bm001_0000 -- blogg-bm003_0000 (9 files) > - nou001_0000 -- nou004_0000 (10 files) > - st001_0000 -- st005_0000 (11 files) > > Development data (2410 sentences, 26 individual files): > > - ap012_0003 -- ap014_0002 (7 files) > - bt005_0002 -- bt005_0005 (4 files) > - db013_0005 -- db014_0002 (5 files) > - kk006_00001 -- kk007_0000 (2 files) > - sp-bm002_0000 -- sp-bm002_0001 (2 files) > - vg002_0004 (1 file) > - blogg-bm003_0001 -- blogg-bm003_0002 (2 files) > - nou004_0001 (1 file) > - st005_0001 -- st005_0002 (2 files) > > Test data (1939 sentences, 26 individual files): > > - ap014_0003 -- ap015_0002 (7 files) > - bt005_0006 -- bt006_0001 (4 files) > - db014_0003 -- db014_0007 (5 files) > - kk007_0001 -- kk008_0000 (2 files) > - sp-bm003_0000 -- sp-bm003_0001 (2 files) > - vg002_0005 (1 file) > - blogg-bm003_0003 -- blogg-bm003_0004 (2 files) > - nou004_0002 (1 file) > - st005_0003 -- st005_0004 (2 files) > > ## BASIC STATISTICS > > Tree count: 20045 > > Word count: 311277 > > Token count: 311277 > > Dep. relations: 35 of which 2 language specific > > POS tags: 17 > > Category=value feature pairs: 31 > > ## TOKENIZATION > > White space always indicates a token boundary and punctuation constitute separate tokens, except: > > - numbers with periods, commas or colons, e.g. *1.3*, *0,6*, *10:13* > - abbreviations, e.g. *f.eks.*, *Carl J. Hambro* > - URLs, e.g. [http://www.ifi.uio.no](http://www.ifi.uio.no) > > The treebank does not contain multiword tokens. > > ## MORPHOLOGY > > The PoS-tags follow the universal tag set and does not add any language-specific PoS-tags. The morphological features follow the Oslo-Bergen Tagger scheme (Hagen et. al., 2000). PoS-tags and morphological features were converted automatically to the UD scheme. > > ## SYNTAX > > The syntactic annotation in the Norwegian UD treebank conforms to the UD guidelines, adding language-specific relations for relative clauses (`acl:relcl`) and verb particles (`compound:prt`). The annotation has been automatically converted to UD from the original dependency scheme described in Solberg et. al. (2014) and further described in the NDT guidelines (Kinn et. al.). The conversion has not been manually checked. There are a few known discrepancies from UD: > > - no mwe analysis in the treebank. This is also information that is not present in the original data. > > ## References > > Kristin Hagen, Janne Bondi Johannessen and Anders Nøklestad: "A Constraint-based Tagger for Norwegian". 2000.
