Is there an open data set (freely available, permissive license) of latin grammar available ? I am thinking about verbs and translations alongside verb forms in various tenses and cases etc.
The purpose would be to implement a training-app / quiz-game etc. for learning latin.
As an example, I am interested in this kind of data for latin verbs: http://latin.cactus2000.de/showverb.en.php?verb=facere
Ideally, the data should be in machine-readable format (e.g XML, CSV etc.) .
If you're interested in inflected forms, you could take data from Wiktionary's Latin section. Most verb entries have automatically-generated conjugation tables, and all of the content is CC-BY-SA.
If you're interested in meanings, you can download data files for well-regarded dictionaries through the Perseus Project. Lewis and Short is my go-to resource; click XML at the bottom of the page to download a machine-readable form. But L&S is written for human eyes, not automated systems, and assumes the reader can fill in all regular inflected forms from the principal parts.
