with regard to the discussion of a web-based corpus repository I'd
like to point out the work we (members of the project "Sustainability
of Linguistic Data" [1]) presented at Digital Humanities 2007,
especially the paper "Language Corpora – Copyright – Data Protection:
The Legal Point of View" by Timm Lehmberg and Felix Zimmermann
(abstracts at [2]).

A follow-up to this article (titled "Digital Text Collections,
Linguistic Research Data, and Mashups: Notes on the Legal Situation",
by Timm Lehmberg, Andreas Witt, Felix Zimmermann and myself) will be
published in a forthcoming special issue of "Library Trends". A
preliminary version of this paper is available upon request.
