*****Apologies for multiple postings***


We are pleased to announce that the *third FLaReNet Forum "/Language 
Resources in the Sharing Age - the Strategic Agenda/"* will take place 
in Venice, Italy, 26 and 27 May 2011, in the beautiful setting of 
Auditorium Santa Margherita 
<http://www.unive.it/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=45619&image=5>, Ca' Foscari 
University.

Following the usual successful formula, the third Forum is conceived as 
a collaborative workshop designed to raise discussion in a very 
interactive way, thus creating a breeding ground for open questions, new 
ideas and visions for the field of Language Resources/Technologies.

The Venice Forum sessions are devoted to the following topics: 
Identification and tracking of Language Resources; Open Data; Go green: 
reuse, repurpose, and recycle resources; Innovation needs data; Data for 
all languages: think big; Long life to our resources; From 
recommendations to actions: what’s next?

A description of the sessions is now available on the web site 
(http://www.flarenet.eu/).
