回复:JDEST的全名是?
Yes, you are right. You can find the description of it in the PDF file available at:

To save your trouble, here is the quote:
One the of purposes of the AGTS project is to tag the JDEST (Jiao Da English
for Science and Technology) Corpus, which consists of one million
words. The JDEST Corpus was built up by Jiao Tong University in
Shanghai in 1985. The JDEST Corpus collected English texts covering
ten subject areas in science and technology: physics, nuclear energy,
metallurgy, computer science, aeronautics, mechanics, electrical engineering,
chemical engineering, architectural engineering and shipbuilding.
The texts were randomly selected from theses, textbooks, academic
works, popular science and science digests, published in the United
Kingdom, the United States and other countries. The corpus consists of
2,000 units of about 500 words each. The size of the JDEST Corpus
is over 1,000,000 words. The sizes of the units and the entire corpus
are very similar to those of the Brown Corpus of American Written
English. The AGTS has experienced changes of its programming languages
from BASIC to SNOBOL, and then to Turbo C.
