Subject:  New ISO Subcommittee for Language Resource Management

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO, http://www.iso.org) has
established a new subcommittee on Language Resource Management (SC 4) of
its Technical Committee on Terminology (TC 37). The first plenary meeting
of TC 37/SC 4 was held at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria,
Spain, on May 28.

The meeting was attended by 29 individuals from 12 countries. The
committee Chair is Laurent Romary of Laboratoire Loria, France, and
Secretary is Key-Sun Choi of Korterm, Korea. At the meeting, the following
actions were taken.

1. Antonio Zampolli of the Institute for Computational Linguistics, Pisa,
   Italy, was appointed Chair of the International Advisory Committee
   (IAC) of TC 37/SC 4 for a term of 3 years.

2. Working Group 1 on Basic Descriptors and Mechanisms for Language
   Resources (WG 1) was established and will be chaired by Laurent Romary.
   The following Work Items were approved for TC 37/SC 4/WG 1.
   a. Terminology of Language Resource Management (WI 1), to be convened
      by Key-Sun Choi. The task of WI 1 is to define all general concepts
      and terms in the domain of SC 4.
   b. Linguistic Annotation Framework (WI 2) to be convened by Nancy Ide,
      Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY, USA. The task of WI 2 is to
      develop a framework for describing and comparing annotation schemes
      for language resources.
   In addition, it was agreed that a Metadata for Multimodal and
   Multilingual Information Work Item (WI 3) would be formed, once a
   requirements paper for it is prepared. Peter Wittenburg, Max Planck
   Institute for Psycholinguistics, will head up an effort to prepare such
   a paper by the end of 2002.

3. Additional Working Groups and Work Items are being planned as follows.
   The names and numbers for these Working Groups and Work Items are not
   definitive.
   a. WG 2: Representation Schemes
      i.    WI 4:  Structural Content Representation Scheme
      ii.   WI 5:  Multimodal Meaning Representation Scheme
      iii.  WI 6:  Discourse Level Representation Scheme
   b. WG 3: Multilingual Text Representation
      i.    WI 7:  Translation Memory and Alignment of Parallel Corpora
      ii.   WI 8:  Segmentation and Counting Algorithms
      iii.  WI 9:  Meta-markup for Globalization, Internationalization and
                   Localization
   c. WG 4: Lexical Database
      i.    WI 10: NLP Lexica
   d. WG 5: Workflow of Language Resource Management
      i.    WI 11: Validation of Language Resources
      ii.   WI 12: Net-based Distributed Cooperative Work for the Creation
                   of Language Resources

The next meeting of TC 37/SC 4 will be held in Vienna, Austria on August
22 in conjunction with the annual plenary meeting of TC 37.

14th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information

                       http://www.esslli2002.it

                         Trento, Italy
                       5-16 August, 2002

                    Co Organized by ITC-IRST,
            University of Trento and Opera Universitaria,
                   under the auspices of FoLLI


The  main focus  of ESSLLI  is on  the interface between linguistics,
logic  and computation.  The school has developed  into  an important
meeting place  and forum for discussion for  students, researchers and
IT professionals  interested in the interdisciplinary  study of Logic,
Language and Information.

This is the first time the school is held in Italy.

The school offers about 48 courses (for more details, visit the web site
- > http://www.esslli2002.it/ ) and in the past attracted between 300
and 500 students from all over the world. In previous editions  of
ESSLLI the courses covered  a wide variety of topics  within six  areas
of interest: Logic,  Computation, Language, Logic and Computation,
Computation  and   Language,  Language  and Logic. The novelty of the
14th  edition is the special emphasis on the interface between the basic
areas (Logic,   Language, and Computation).
So, this  edition  offers a large number of courses, organised into
three interdisciplinary areas (Language & Computation, Language & Logic,
and Logic & Computation),  at a variety  of levels (foundational,
introductory, advanced),  as  well  as  a  number  of workshops and
evening lectures.

The registration fee includes: lunches for 10 days, 4 lectures notes,
gadgets (t-shirt, bag, and so on), ESSLLI welcome party and ESSLLI
party.
