The Eagles Guidelines provide guidance for markup
to be used with text corpora, particularly for identifying features relevant in computational linguistics
and lexicography

Numerous well-known companies, research centres, universities and professional bodies across the European Union are collaborating under the aegis of EC DGXIII to produce the EAGLES Guidelines which set out recommendations for de facto standards and for good practice in the above areas of language engineering.

- Very large-scale language resources (such as text corpora, computational lexicons and speech corpora);
- Means of manipulating such knowledge, via computational linguistic formalisms, mark up [sic] languages and various software tools;
- Means of assessing and evaluating resources, tools and products.
