This workshop will lay the foundation of an open, web-based
infrastructure for collecting, storing and disseminating the primary
materials which document and describe human languages, including
wordlists, lexicons, annotated signals, interlinear texts, paradigms,
field notes, and linguistic descriptions, as well as the metadata
which indexes and classifies these materials.  The infrastructure will
support the modeling, creation, archiving and access of these
materials, using centralized respositories of metadata, data, best
practice guidelines, and open software tools.
