This will remain an important goal in the future (and I am sure that we will have over 20 languages in the next release), but it is also important that we keep improving the quality of the data and (not least) the consistency across languages. Having a uniform set of categories for all languages is a giant step forward, but we already know that the application of these categories is not completely consistent across languages. Some of these discrepancies are well known, but there are probably many more that we have yet to discover. The annotation of cleft sentences, discussed recently on github, and light verb constructions are two cases in point. Therefore, we suggest that the main goal for the next release should be consolidation and homogenization. We are not sure exactly how to organize this, but establishing working groups that investigate a specific class of constructions across languages and suggest construction-oriented guidelines for these might be one way forward. In the best of worlds, we may even have concrete proposals to discuss when we meet in Uppsala.","creator":{"login":"manning","id":2438050,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2438050?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/manning","html_url":"https://github.com/manning","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/manning/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/manning/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/manning/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/manning/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/manning/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/manning/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/manning/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/manning/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/manning/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"open_issues":13,"closed_issues":6,"state":"open","created_at":"2015-04-16T15:09:18Z","updated_at":"2015-10-16T15:05:48Z","due_on":"2015-11-15T08:00:00Z","closed_at":null},"comments":0,"created_at":"2015-10-16T15:05:48Z","updated_at":"2015-10-16T15:05:48Z","closed_at":null,"body":"@kajad pointed this out; I am not sure whether it has been discussed but I don't see the corresponding issue here.\r\n\r\nThe documentation of the language-specific relations (http://universaldependencies.github.io/docs/ext-dep-index.html) lists `cc:preconj` for English. So does the English documentation (http://universaldependencies.github.io/docs/en/dep/cc-preconj.html). However, the version 1.1 English data contain `conj:preconj` instead (and the validator's tools/data/deprel.en also lists `conj:preconj`, otherwise the data would not validate).\r\n\r\nThe discrepancy should be fixed in version 1.2 data (both in UD_English and in tools). Personally I believe that `cc:preconj` is indeed correct, because the words are not conjuncts. Is it OK to modify the validator's list of English relations, which would make the current English data invalid, as a reminder?"}}
