The ELRA Catalogue of Language Resources at OLAC

In the framework of its ongoing collaborative work with the OLAC 
community and in order to improve its compliance with OLAC standards, 
ELRA is pleased to announce that the OLAC archive of its Catalogue of 
Language Resources has been updated. According to OLAC standards, the 
ELRA Catalogue archive achieves the maximum rate of 5 stars on the OLAC 
scale.
 
The ELRA Catalogue has been exported into OLAC standards by means of 
associating the ELRA metadata for describing Language Resources with the 
OLAC metadata. Daily updates are performed through the automatic 
harvesting of the ELRA Catalogue which is carried out by the OLAC server.

With this work, ELRA aims at rendering its catalogue more visible to the 
wider community and it contributes to sharing information on Language 
Resources through standardized metadata sets.
