<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""
lang="EN-GB">The life of a language resource (LR),
from its mere conception and drafting to its adult phases of active
exploitation
by the HLT community, varies considerably. Ensuring that language
resources be a
part of a sustainable and endurable living process represents a
multi-faceted
challenge that certainly calls for well-planned anti-neglecting actions
to be
put into action by the different actors participating in the process.
Clearing
all IPR issues, exploiting best practices at specification and
production time are
just a few samples of such actions. Sustainability and lifecycle
management issues
are thus concepts that should be addressed before endeavouring into any
serious
LR production.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""
lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""
lang="EN-GB">When thinking of long-term LRs a
number of aspects come to our minds which do not always succeed to be
taken
into account before development. Some of these aspects are <i>usability</i>,
<i>accessibility,
interoperability</i> and <i>scalability</i>, which inevitably call for
a long
list of neglected points that would need to be taken into account at a
very
early stage of development. Looking further into the <i>portability</i>
and <i>scalability</i>
of a language resource, a number of dimensions should be taken into
account to
ensure that a language resource reaches its adult life in an active and
productive way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""
lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""
lang="EN-GB">An aspect that is often neglected is
the <i>accessibility</i> and thus <i>secured reusability</i> of a
language
resource. Institutions such as ELRA (European Language resources
Association) and
LDC (Linguistic Data Consortium), at a European and American level,
respectively, as well as BAS (Bavarian Archive for Speech Signals) and
TST-Centrale (Flemish-Dutch Human Language Technology Agency), at a
language-specific level, have worked on these aspects for a large
number of
years. Through their different activities, they have successfully
implemented a
sharing policy which allows different users to gain access to already
existing
resources. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB">Other
emerging programmes such as CLARIN
(Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure) are also
looking into
these aspects. </span><span style="" lang="EN-GB">Nevertheless,
many resources still follow development without a long-term
accessibility plan
into place which makes impossible to gain access once the resource is
finished.
This accessibility plan should consider issues such as ownership
rights, licensing,
types of use, aiming for a wide community from the very beginning. This
accessibility plan calls for an optimal co-operation between all actors
(LR
users, financing bodies, owners, developers and organisations) so that
issues
related to the life of a LR are well established, roles and actors are
clearly
identified within the cycle and best practices are defined towards the
management of the entire LR lifecycle. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""
lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""
lang="EN-GB">We are aware, though, that these
above-presented ideas are but a take-off for discussion. It is at this
point
that we would like to invite the community to participate in this
workshop and
share with us their views on these and other relevant issues of
concern. A
fruitful discussion could lead us to finding new mechanisms to support
perpetuating language resources, and may lead us towards a
sustainability model
that guarantees an appropriate and well-defined LR storyboard and
lifecycle
management plan in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""

address all those involved with language resources at some point of
their
research/work (LR users, producers, ...) and all those with an interest
in the
different aspects involved, whether universities, companies or funding
agencies
of some nature. It aims to be a meeting and discussion point for the so
many
bottlenecks surrounding the life of a resource and which remain to be
addressed
with a sustainability plan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""

talks, opening the morning and afternoon sessions, submitted papers,
and will
conclude with a round table to brainstorm on the issues raised during
the
presentations and the individual discussions. This round table will be
run by a
number of experts already experienced in some of the highlighted
problems and
in open discussion with the workshop participants. In short, this
workshop will
result in a plan of action towards a sustainability and lifecycle
management plan
to implement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
