The workshop addresses the requirements on and potential of current 
developments in digital research infrastructures for the Humanities for 
research within the fields of linguistic diversity, minority and

    solutions for representing and modelling multilingual and
    non-standardised (in particular spoken) language data in highly
    standardised environments

  *

    opportunities and limits of automated methods in language
    processing, especially considering multilingualism, orality and
    language variation

  *

    usage increase, which includes

      o

        solutions and strategies (in terms of interfaces or
        dissemination channels) to gain new users in neighbour
        disciplines (i. e. Area Studies, Anthropology etc.)

      o

        making data available to scientific and non-scientific
        audiences, including speaker communities, in various regions of
        the world

      o

        promoting the use of digital linguistic resources in teaching
        and scholarly publications (with respect to discoverability,
        citability, recognition of digital resources as publications, etc.)
