The LKB system (Linguistic Knowledge Builder) is a grammar and lexicon development environment for use with unification-based linguistic formalisms. LKB is focused on the use of HPSG. Data conversion scripts were developed by Hannes Hirzel to convert a Toolbox lexical database into the lexicon format needed by LKB.
A presentation in Trondheim, 2005 (File:Toolbox-LKB-Link-slides - version 4.pdf) shows how this was applied to a lexicon file of the Ga language.
The scripting language used is called 'Consistent changes' and built into the Toolbox program.
A working portable setup is available from the author on request.
