<div><br></div><div>Call for Datasets</div><div>=================</div><div><br></div><div>The explosion of information technology has led to a substantial growth in</div><div>quantity, diversity and complexity of linguistic data accessible on the Web. The</div>
<div>lack of interoperability between linguistic and language resources represents a</div><div>major challenge that needs to be addressed, in particular, if information from</div><div>different sources is to be combined, such as machine-readable lexicons, corpus</div>
<div>data and terminology repositories. The Linked Data in Linguistics (LDL) workshop</div><div>series provides a forum to discuss these types of resources, strategies to</div><div>address issues of interoperability between them, protocols to distribute, access</div>
<div>and integrate this information and technologies and infrastructures developed on</div><div>this basis.</div><div><br></div><div>This year, there is a data challenge associated to the Linguistic Linked Data</div><div>
Workshop. In addition to regular workshop papers, we will accept dataset</div><div>description of 4-6 pages describing linguistically or NLP-relevant datasets</div><div>published on the web as linked data published on the web as linked data. These</div>
<div>linguistic datasets include, but are not limited to, lexica, terminologies,</div><div>semantic networks, annotated and parallel corpora, multimodal resources,</div><div>typological resources and linguistic metadata. The data challenge committee will</div>
<div>review and evaluate data according to the following criteria, with prizes of up</div><div>to €700, funded by the LIDER project, awarded to the highest scoring datasets:</div><div><br></div><div>* Availability</div><div>
** Use of Linked Data and RDF.</div><div>** Hosted on a publicly accessible server and be available both during the </div><div> period of the evaluation and beyond.</div><div>** Use of an open license.</div><div>* Quality of Resource</div>
<div>** Represents useful linguistically or NLP-relevant information.</div><div>** Reuses relevant standards and models.</div><div>** Contains complex, non-trivial information, e.g., multiple levels of </div><div> annotation.</div>
<div>* Linking</div><div>** Links to external resources.</div><div>** Reuse of existing properties and categories.</div><div>* Impact/usefulness of the resource</div><div>** Relevant and likely to be reused by many researchers in NLP and wider fields.</div>
<div>** Uses linked data to improve the quality of and access to the resource.</div><div>* Originality</div><div>** Represents a type of resource or a community currently under-represented in </div><div> (L)LOD cloud activities</div>
<div>** Facilitates novel and unforeseen applications or use cases (as described by </div><div> the authors) enabled through Linked Data technology.</div><div><br></div><div>Submission & Publication</div><div>==========================</div>
<div><br></div><div>We accept dataset descriptions of 4-6 pages, which include a URL under which the</div><div>data is available. The papers of the workshop will be published as online</div><div>proceedings. All submissions can be presented as lightning talks or posters,</div>
<div>albeit such a presentation is optional. In addition, we aim for a journal</div><div>special issue as post-conference proceedings in which a selected amount of</div><div>papers presented at the workshop will be published. When submitting a dataset</div>
<div>description, authors will be asked to provide essential information about</div><div>resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits,</div><div>etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new</div>
<div>result of your research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the</div><div>described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.), to enable their reuse,</div><div>replicability of experiments, including evaluation ones, etc. For contact data,</div>
<div>stylesheets, up-to-date details on submission and the workshop itself, please</div><div>consult our website: <a href="http://ldl2014.org">http://ldl2014.org</a>.
