[Corpora-List] Question: Citing Linguistic Corpora

[Khalid CHOUKRI]

Hi Jim

Thanks for your suggestions, I will convey them to the steering 
committee and see how this is handled

regarding the last sentence of your message:

 >>>, including the price of the corpora and the cost of registering 
corpora.

I would like to insist that the "registration" of corpora will be free 
of charge and the server that assigns ISLRN will NOT require any 
obligation to distribute the resources so may as well ask for an ISLRN 
and keep the data internal to your organization (of course our 
objectives are to offer them and preferably for free for research 
purposes but again distribution/sharing/availability are not part of the 
mandate of the ISLRN initiative)

Best regards
Khalid
