“Turkic Morpheme”: From the Portal to the Linguistic Platform

The paper presents a perspective of the “Turkic morpheme” portal development and transformation into a linguistic platform for Turkic languages. Currently, the “Turkic morpheme” portal is a software system containing a linguistic database and a set of software services, both for working with database and for processing texts in Turkic languages. The portal combines linguistic resources of various types for a large number of Turkic languages; therefore, its development is a rather long research process and is carried out in stages. At the previous stages, semantic models and databases were created describing linguistic units of Turkic languages at different language levels: phonological, morphological and syntactic. This paper describes further development of the portal in a way of evolving it into linguistic platform, providing other developers a virtual environment and API for their applications and tasks.
