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
Language Technology (LT)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<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>

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>
