of Language Resources (LRs)
continues to be a crucial point in the life cycle of LRs, and
more
particularly, in their sustainable exchange. This has been so
for a number of
repositories or LR distribution centres in place (ELRA, GSK,
LDC, OLAC,
TST-Centrale, BAS, among others), who house LR catalogues
following some
proprietary metadata schema. A number of projects and
initiatives have also
focused these past few years in the sharing of LRs (ENABLER,
CLARIN, <span style="color:black">FLaReNet</span>, PANACEA,
META-SHARE), for example for

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">Currently several
initiatives focus on metadata.
From the realm of work done within initiatives like ENABLER
and CLARIN
descended the Component MetaData Infrastructure (CMDI, ISO TC
37 SC 4 work item
for ISO 24622), which allows the combination of standard data
categories (for
example from ISO 12620, isocat.org) to components, which are
combined into
metadata profiles. Early versions of this model have been
operational in
repositories such as ELRA’s, which complied with the work done
within INTERA.
FLaReNet, as the result of a permanent and cyclical
consultation, has issued a
set of main recommendations where a global infrastructure of
uniform and
interoperable metadata sets appear among the Top Priorities
for the field of
LRs.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>For use within
HLT, META-SHARE provides
a fully-fledged schema for the description of LRs, in the
framework of the
component model, covering all the current resource types and
media types of
use, in all the stages of a resource’s life-cycle. Our aim is
to learn from one
another’s experiences and plans in this area.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">Making resources
available for others and
putting this to a second use in other projects has never been
more widely
accepted as a sensible efficient way to avoid a waste of
efforts and resources.
However, when it comes to the details, there is still a vast
number of
problems. This workshop will be a forum to address issues and
challenges in the
concrete work with metadata for LRs, not restricted to a
single initiative for
archiving LRs. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">The current state
of the art for metadata
provision allows for a very flexible approach, catering for
the needs of
different archives and communities, referring to common data
category
registries that describe the meaning of a data category at
least to authors of
metadata. Component models for metadata provisions are for
example used by
CLARIN and META-SHARE, but there is also an increased
flexibility in other
metadata schemas such as Dublin Core, which is usually not
seen as appropriate
for meaningful description of language resources. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">This full-day
workshop aims at bringing
together technology oriented working groups on metadata
modeling or schema
creation and both researchers and producers creating metadata
in the course of
their work. Those interested to use metadata in their projects
should get the
insights and come out with a clear idea of how to either
describe their LRs or
convert their schema. Those who have developed recently a
model can share their
experience, and those who have specific concerns with
interoperability of
metadata schemas as developed by the various initiatives can
open the
discussion in search for joint solutions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span
style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">Tools and the
tool infrastructures should also
be part of the discussion given that the initiatives provide
also editors, mappings,
search interfaces, component and profile registries. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
