Dear colleague,

Do you wish it would be easier to find Swedish language resources to use in research, applications or for educational purposes? You can contribute to this by answering a questionnaire.

Research and development of language technology systems needs an infrastructure of publicly available and standardized basic resources. Such resources have to be created for each language separately. For Swedish, there are several resources, but it is unclear what type they are of, and to what degree they are available. Therefore, we need to make an inventory and describe the existing language resources and how they are used. Also, it is necessary to survey the need of such resources for future development.

For the survey of language resources and need, we would like to ask you to answer a questionnaire. You can do that on the Internet http://www.speech.kth.se/prod/blark/blark_en.php or in a text file downloadable from the same address. There is a Swedish and an English version. We would like your answer as soon as possible, but before May 31, 2007 if your answers are to be included in the overview. To make
the inventory as useful as possible, it is of great importance that everybody who works with Swedish language technology participate in the inventory process.

If you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to contact us!

Thank you for your co-operation.

Sincerely,
