Foma, the application developed by Mans Hulden (University of Helsinki), was the main tool used in this tutorial.

As the CLA Centre is celebrating its 40th  anniversary this year , they have sent the Ixa Group a sculpture (see the picture) to commemorate our co-operation.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

And  CONGRATULATIONS  to Eloina, Julio Vitelio, Leonel, and all those compañeros that created this research centre and have been promoting it!

IXA group has been collaborating with CLA for 10 years. One of the fruits of this collaboration is the third edition of the Diccionario Básico Escolar (DBE). This dictionary is coded in XML and has been implemented using leXkit, an application developed by Ixa Group for dictionary managing.
