Language Resources and Evaluation is the first publication devoted to  
the acquisition, creation, annotation, management, and use of  
language resources, together with methods for their evaluation.  
Language resources include language data and descriptions used to  
assist and augment language processing applications, such as written  
or spoken corpora and lexica, multimodal resources, grammars,  
terminology or domain specific databases and dictionaries,  
ontologies, multimedia databases, etc., as well as tools for their  
acquisition, preparation, annotation, management, customization, and  
use. Evaluation of language resources involves assessment the state- 
of-the-art for a given technology, comparison of approaches,  
validation of results, benchmarking, and assessment of system  
usability and user satisfaction.

The journal editors are soliciting submissions on any of the  
following topics:

·       Methods, tools, and procedures for the creation and  
annotation of mono- and multi-lingual language resources

·       Methods for knowledge extraction and acquisition

·       Guidelines, standards, models, and best practices

·       Multimedia and multimodal language resources, and their  
integration

·       Ontologies and knowledge representation

·       Exploitation of language resources to enhance language  
processing applications and sub-tasks

·       Language resources in the context of the Semantic Web

·       Language resources metadata

·       Evaluation methodologies, protocols and measures

·       Resources for benchmarking and evaluation, blackbox, glassbox  
and diagnostic evaluation

Language Resources and Evaluation is the official journal of the  
European Language Resources Association (ELRA), sponsor of the bi- 
annual LREC conference.
