From sb at unagi.cis.upenn.edu Wed May 23 15:15:13 2001 From: sb at unagi.cis.upenn.edu (Steven Bird) Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 11:15:13 EDT Subject: Welcome to OLAC-General Message-ID: Welcome to the OLAC-General mailing list, a moderated list for the Open Language Archives Community (OLAC, www.language-archives.org). OLAC is an international partnership of institutions and individuals who are creating a worldwide virtual library of language resources by: * developing consensus on best current practice for the digital archiving of language resources, and * developing a network of interoperating repositories and services for housing and accessing such resources. The mailing list home page and the public list archive are available at http://lists.linguistlist.org/archives/olac-general.html. If you don't wish to be on this list, send a "SIGNOFF OLAC-GENERAL" command to LISTSERV at LISTSERV.LINGUISTLIST.ORG, or email sb at ldc.upenn.edu. ANOTHER LIST: OLAC-IMPLEMENTERS In addition to OLAC-General, there is also an unmoderated technical mailing list for people who are implementing OLAC-conformant archives. The list is called OLAC-Implementers, and has open membership. The homepage of this list is: http://lists.linguistlist.org/archives/olac-implementers.html. A page of implementation notes is available at: http://www.language-archives.org/alpha/. Version 0.3 of the OLAC metadata schema has just been posted there. Many thanks to the great folks at LINGUIST for hosting our lists!
