**FINAL CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS**
ACL/EACL2001 Workshop on
Sharing Tools and Resources for Research and Education
Co-organised by ELSNET
Toulouse, Saturday 7th July 2001
BACKGROUND:
At a workshop at ACL 2000 in Hong Kong dedicated to Infrastructures
for Global Collaboration there was an agreement between the main
professional organisations in NLP and Speech (ACL and ISCA), and
ELSNET, and the other meeting participants, that it would be useful to
aim at a broadly supported, joint repository or catalogue for tools
and materials for the language and speech communities.
An ELSNET-sponsored workshop on educational issues held at EACL99
concluded that certain non-transient infrastructures needed to be
instigated to raise the public perception of educational issues in
NLP. It also concluded that a repository of shared materials,
appropriately indexed for educational usage, would be a useful point
of departure.
This workshop will build on the consensus reached at these previous
workshops. There will be two clear foci: one upon instruments for
sharing tools and resources in general that addresses practical
problems, and the other upon the technological and infrastructural
issues surrounding the educational uses of repositories.
Good examples of existing initiatives in this area are among others
the ACL Natural Language Software Registry (hosted at DFKI,
registry.dfki.de) which was set up as a repository for tools for the
distinct fields of Human Language Techology (HLT), the ELRA/ELDA, LDC,
TELRI and Elsnet resources catalogues and repositories
(http://www.icp.inpg.fr/ELRA, http://www.ldc.upenn.edu,
http://www.telri.de and http://www.elsnet.org/resources.html),
OLAC (a worldwide network of language
archives at http://www.language-archives.org), and JEWELS
(http://www.elsnet.org/jewels), an as-yet incomplete EU funded website for
educational materials in Language and Speech.
A third theme concerns how to build upon existing initiatives as
sources of data or inspiration.
AIM AND SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP:
The main goal of the workshop is to discuss methods for the
improvement and extension of existing repositories; the educational
uses of repositories; the closer interlinking between different kinds
of repositories (tools and resources); global infrastructures for the
achievement of joint actions. However, we expect the scope of the
workshop to be much wider than that, as the issues addressed are of
general interest to everybody who believes that sharing tools and
resources is essential for the progress of research and education in
our field.
Contributions of papers and demonstrations are solicited that address
the above themes. The following list of topics is suggestive rather
than exhaustive:
* Repositories versus catalogues
* Mechanisms and infrastructures for sharing and describing content
* Repository management
* Standards for exchange, description, and annotation
* Metadata descriptions
* Quality assessment
* Structure and content of an NLP/CL repository
* Tools and materials for NLP/CL education
* Web-based teaching methods for NLP/CL
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR PAPERS
* Electronic submissions only (PostScript, Word, or PDF), following
the appropriate ACL latex style or Microsoft Word style.
Submissions should not exceed eight (8) pages, including
references. You can download the appropriate style or template
files using the following link: acl2001.dfki.de/style. In case of
problems with the submission format, please contact one of the
co-chairs.
* Submissions to either co-chair (Mike Rosner and Thierry Declerck).
All submissions will be acknowledged.
* Please provide a list of keywords in the separate header page and
indicate the best fitting subtopic(s) from the above list.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR DEMONSTRATIONS
* Demos may be submitted with or without an accompanying paper.
* Please write a 2-page description of the demo and send to either
co-chair. Please let us know about special hardware requirements
over and above the standard PC + beamer without internet access
provided by default
