History

The CENTAL is a research structure newly established on the foundations of a centre created at the end of the sixties which was specialized in latin data databases creation and curation. It was called the CETEDOC (Centre de traitement électronique des documents or Centre for electronic document processing). Nowadays, the CENTAL has broadened its research field to modern languages and natural language processing.
