A further effort to represent lexical and construction level information is the Construction Labeling Project [[Verbconstructions cross-linguistically - Introduction]], a system for encoding construction types across languages [http://www.hf.ntnu.no/hf/isk/Ansatte/lars.hellan/personInfo.html Lars Hellan].
Between 1996 - 2009 the former linguistic department at NTNU and the linguistic departments at the University of Ghana, Legon cooperated in a project that was sponsored by the Norwegian NUFU programme, which is mp longer maintained. The project became known as '' The Legon Trondheim Linguistics Project'', while its official name was Computational Lexicography, Typology and Adult Literacy. The Ghanaian coordinator was the Head of the Linguistics Department in office. For more information about this over years very influential, and extremely productive project consult also the following [[The Legon Trondheim Linguistics Project| page]].

As part of this project the TypeCraft development started in 2005. Its goal was to allow a better project internal management for linguistic data. We had the wish to create a tool that was suited for the creation of morpheme-level glossed data, but that unlike other well-known systems allowed a distributed use, and the easy exchange of data. The idea was that the tool should be tailored to the needs of groups of researchers and students from the North and the South working together on the description of lesser-described languages.
At present the group has two focal areas: grammar engineering and the support for linguistic work with lesser-described languages. In this context we have started to explore Semantic Web Technologies.
In Grammar Engineering the main application developed by LingLab is the Norwegian computational grammar NorSource (Norwegian HPSG grammar NorSource). Together with partners in the DELPH-IN network LingLab applies Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (Pollard and Sag (1994) and Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS)(Copestake et.al.2005) to advance deep natural language processing.

TypeCraft is an online application consisting of a natural language database and a linguistic editor for interlinear glossing. The user adds linguistic annotation to written material which is stored in a relational database from where it can be retrieved using multiple views. The system is wrapped into a customised mediawiki which serves as an entrance port to the system.
TypeCraft can be freely used. To use the TypeCraft Editor the user needs to be logged in.
