[Corpora-List] The Future European Multilingual Information Society - A call for discussion

[Paul Thompson]

One of the aims of META-NET (http://www.meta-net.eu/) is to produce a 
Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) for Europe's Language Technology 
landscape. The agenda will contain high level recommendations, ideas for 
visionary LT-based applications and suggestions for joint actions to be 
presented to the EC and national as well as regional bodies.

A "visioning" phase (META-VISION) is currently ongoing, the 
participation in which is open to all via the online discussion forum 
(http://www.meta-net.eu/forum)

The current state of the META-VISION process is reported in a new 
document entitled The Future European Multilingual Information Society 
(available at 
http://www.meta-net.eu/vision/index_html/reports/meta-net-vision-paper.pdf). 
This document is joint work by roughly 100 representatives of the 
European and also international Language Technology landscape.

Feedback on this document, together with discussion and new ideas are 
stongly encouraged in the online discussion forum 
(http://www.meta-net.eu/forum).

Please help us in building a vision for a multilingual Europe that is 
able to overcome remaining cultural, economic, linguistic, political, 
and social challenges with the aid of Language Technology.
