Press Release - Immediate - Paris, France, 1 October 2008<br>
<br>
Public Opening of the Universal Catalogue<br>
<br>
Paris, France, 1 October 2008: The European Language Resources
Association today announces the public opening of the Universal
Catalogue. <br>
<br>
Accessible from <a href="http://universal.elra.info/">http://universal.elra.info/</a>,
the Universal Catalogue is publicly open to the general
language-technology and language-studying communities <br>
so as to facilitate both LR search and storage to all LR users. Both
activities are done in a simplified and shareable manner.<br>
<br>
The Universal Catalogue allows for a collaborative enriching, by means
of collecting information from all interested people. Everyone is
strongly encouraged <br>
to share information he/she knows about existing resources. The more
exhaustive the Universal Catalogue is the more useful it will be for
all of us. <br>
