Dear all,

The NIMM (Natural Interaction and MultiModality) working group within
the ISLE (International Standards for Language Engineering) project
would like to inform you about the four following reports, which we hope
may be of interest to you:

Report 8.1: Survey of NIMM data resources including strategic report
describing current and future user profiles, markets and user needs for
NIMM resources.
Report 9.1: Survey of annotation schemes and identification of best
practice.
Report 10.1: Survey of best practice and trends in metadata description.

Report 11.1: Survey of existing tools, standards and user needs for
annotation of natural interaction and multimodal data.
      Report 11.2: Requirements specification for a tool in support of
annotation of natural interaction and multimodal data

The reports can be found at http://isle.nis.sdu.dk under the "Reports".

The reports are the result of one year of surveying whatever could be
found within the area of multimodal resources, annotation schemes,
metadata descriptions, tools, current and future market and user needs,
user profiles and best practice. The reports are very extensive and are
meant to be up-to-date, and we sincerely hope, that they may be helpful
to you in some way.

A web-based facility has been set up at the ISLE NIMM website (see
above) under each of the reports 8.1, 9.1 and 11.1, which enables any
interested colleague to upload information about a NIMM data resource,
annotation scheme and/or coding tools, which has not been included
already. We hope that our colleagues in the emerging NIMM community will
use the facility to help each other by sharing their information with
others and contribute to maintaining an up-to-date and valuable pool of
NIMM information.

Thank you and best regards,

Malene Wegener Knudsen
