Uses and usage of language resource-related standards

 

 

In recent years more and more standards related to the representation

and processing of language resources (LRs) have been issued by

different organizations (e.g., ISO, Oasis, LISA, W3C, TEI etc.). While

some of these have been designed explicitly for the purpose of

modeling language (e.g., LAF, OLAC, IMDI, etc), other standards in use

in the community are originally geared to the representation of

properties of texts (e.g., TEI). Still others have been defined with

broader, not inherently language or text-related purposes in

mind. Apart from standards for representation and linguistic

description, recently standards for resource management are also

emerging.

 

The formal standardisation process is only one aspect of the evolution

of a standard. The application and the real use seem to be even more

important. A standard is useful for the community only if it is actually

applied. The workshop will concentrate on standards which are in use,

experiences with standards as well as tools

to enhance the use of standards. In particular we will encourage

contributions in the following areas:

 

(a) experiences with different types of standards:

 

- research contexts inviting/impeding the use of standards

- standards and exploitation of LRs

- use of language vs. text encoding standards

- use of standards for representation vs. linguistic description

- standards for different types of LRs (corpora, archives,

  dictionaries, spoken vs. written language etc)

- standards used in the localization process

- competing standards (comparison of competing standards,

  motivations for preferring one standard over another)

 

 

(b) use of standards from different vantage points:

 

- data providers (support for standards, e.g., data category

  registry)

- data users (e.g., standards supporting resource exploitation)

- tool developers (e.g., corpus annotation tools supporting

  standards, standards aware localization tools)

 

 

(c) new horizons in standardization

 

- standardization for resource management (e.g., resource

  validation) and best practices

- efforts to make language resource-related standards communicate

  with each other (e.g., mappings, upper structures)

- interaction of language resource-related standards with

  non-language data standards

- special requirements for multilingual resources

- special requirements for multimodal resources

- methodologies for the evaluation of standards
