Call for Participation

EACL 2009 Workshop on

Language Technology and Resources for Cultural Heritage,
Social Sciences, Humanities, and Education

LaTeCH - SHELT&R 2009
30 March, 2009
Athens, Greece

SCOPE

Recent years have seen a growing interest in the application of language
technology tools and resources to text-based research in Social sciences,
Humanities and Education (SHE). Likewise, large scale digitisation
projects are currently underway to make collections of cultural heritage
(CH) stored in museums, archives, and libraries around the world more
accessible, where it is desirable to develop powerful tools that enable
annotating, structuring, enriching, searching, linking, and mining the
digitised data. Language technology has an important role to play in these
processes, even for collections which are primarily non-textual, since
text is the pervasive medium used for metadata.

The workshop aims to foster interaction between researchers working on all
aspects of language technology applied to CH and SHE domains, and experts
from institutions who are testing deployed technologies and formulating
improved use cases.
