Call for Papers: "Language Technology for a Multilingual Europe"
================================================================

Overview
--------

The Workshop aims at bringing various groups together who are concerned
with the broad topic of "Language Technology for a multilingual Europe".
This encompasses on the one hand representatives from research and
development in the field of language technologies, on the other hand
users from quite divers areas. Two examples of the application of
language technology is (automatic / machine) translation, and processing
of texts from the humanities with methods from language technology, like
automatic topic indexing, text mining, integrating numerous texts and
additional information across languages etc.

These kinds of application areas and research and development in
language technology have in common that they rely on resources (lexica,
corpora, grammars, ontologies etc.), or that they produce these
resources. A multilingual Europe, being supported by language
technology, is only possible if an adequate, interoperable
infrastructure of resources, including the related tooling, is available
for all European languages.

In addition it is necessary that the aforementioned and other
communities of developers and users of language technology stand as one,
homogenous community.  Only in this way it will be possible to assure
the long-term political acceptance of the topic "language technology" in
Europe.

Topics
------

The workshop aims at brining research and development from academia and
industry together, to discuss the aforementioned technical and political
prerequisites for language technology in Europe. Submissions may touch
on the following or other aspects of this overall topic:

- Research and development of language technology in various areas
   (Human Language Technology, ICT, eHumanities, ...)
- Infrastructure for resources in language technology
- Prerequisites for interoperability of language technology based
   applications
- Language technology and standardization
- "Political perspectives" about requirements and the usefulness of
   language technology, from the perspective of research, industry and
   various user communities.
