Linguistic Resources Document

A Linguistic Resources Document (LRD) is an XML document consisting of a set of linguistic resources (dictionaries, cross models, corpora, links to other LRDs, etc.).

This document can be used with apertium-crossdics to indicate which resources (dictionaries and cross models) can be crossed.

Example of LRD
