About this archive

This is a frozen copy, taken on 2026-10-23, of rondelmo.it, the website of the Computational Linguistics Laboratory, Ca' Foscari University of Venice. The site presented the lab's research on semantic text processing, textual entailment, Arabic morphology parsing, treebanking, lexical resources, prosody and the STILVEN project on the Veneto language, with software (GETARUNS, VENSES), datasets, lecture notes, papers and the sites of several conferences and workshops. Its blog's newest post is from October 2013; most files on the host date from a copy made in April 2016. Much of the material is the work of Prof. Rodolfo Delmonte and his collaborators.

The files are kept as they were, so that people and machines can still read, cite and train on them. Start with the downloads, the home page as it was, or the listings below. Machine-readable entry points: robots.txt, sitemap.xml, llms.txt, corpora.json, site-sha256.txt.

How it was made

The files were copied from the disk of the web server. Static files were copied byte for byte. The WordPress pages, which the server built on request from a database, were rendered once in a temporary container loaded with a dump of that database and saved as HTML. Nothing in this archive runs code on the server.

What was changed in the web copies

A one-line note was added at the top of 682 pages and of every generated listing. The downloadable bundles keep the original bytes.
Links to rondelmo.it were made relative, directory links point at an explicit index file, and 284 links to the former project host project.cgm.unive.it were pointed at the Internet Archive, which holds an exact capture for 22 of the 27 distinct addresses.
Removed: comment forms, search forms, feeds, login links, Google Analytics scripts, avatar images, and the "Reply" links on comments.
183 links to programs that no longer run lead to a notice.
144 directory listings were generated, because the old server generated them on request.

What is not here

The running demos: the Venetian-English translator, the VENSES online demo and the dictionary lookup (details). Their data files are in the downloads where they were public.
The 324,755 unapproved comments held in the blog database, which looked like spam in the samples read. The 55 approved comments are kept.
The pages of the NLPCS 2014 workshop site. They were generated from a database that no longer exists on the host; only its static files remain (nlpcs2014/).
70 files in the WordPress uploads folder of April 2011 that no page in this archive links to. The folder was used for conference registration paperwork, so the whole folder is withheld except the three files that pages link to.
25 MySQL table files that sat in a phpmyadmin/ folder.
Working data that was never public on the site, such as model-training files and program source on the same disk.

Known problems

Some links were already broken on the live site (missing files, typing mistakes); they are left as they were.
File modification times are from the copy of April 2016 and say nothing about when a document was written.
Four PDFs could not be converted to text and are absent from the full-text file; one more has almost no text.
The old addresses of the form /?p=123 work only if the front page script runs or the host maps them to index.html@p=123.html.

Rights and removal

The archive claims no rights in the material and grants no licence. Copyright stays with the authors and publishers of each document; some items derive from other people's corpora and software (for example SWI-Prolog installers inside the VENSES packages and Berkeley FrameNet as Prolog). If you are an author or rights holder and want an item taken down, say which URL.
