[Corpora-List] Question: Citing Linguistic Corpora

[Khalid CHOUKRI]

Dear Djamé

There is a new European initiative called meta-share that is a kind of 
lingwikior , this is a common portal in Europe but we hope to extend it 
to other areas, see details on http://www.meta-share.net/
you can also see what is described under OLAC 
http://www.language-archives.org/

The ISLRN is not about resources that come with special licenses or 
for-a-fee, it is only a registration process to ensure that each 
resource get a unique identifier.


Best regards
Khalid
