Subject: The Open Language Archives Community - The LINGUIST List Gateway
Dear Linguists,
How would you like to find all the Mandarin Chinese lexicons, or how
would you like to make your Mandarin Chinese lexicon accessible to
other researchers/linguists?
The Open Language Archives Community (OLAC) does that for you! OLAC is
dedicated to collecting information about language resources,
assembling an online database, similar to a large library catalog and
making it available from a single search. LINGUIST List is a service
provider for this catalog by housing it on the site, which not only
allows linguists to search OLAC through LINGUIST List, but also to
become data providers for the project.
Search OLAC: Many of you must be familiar with the difficulty of
finding information relevant to your research. Searching the internet
has made this problem a notch easier, no doubt, but you must be
willing to spend lots of precious time looking up each individual
archive or website. Since the same thing can be described in many ways
(dictionary and lexicon, possessive and genitive), you may never find
what you are looking for! In light of the above problems, OLAC catalog
has stored information on language resources, such as field notes,
lexicons, audio/video recordings, papers, etc. The information is
stored as metadata in XML format so that the OLAC search engine easily
understands it. Go ahead, and look up your favorite resource using
the OLAC search engine at:
http://saussure.linguistlist.org/cfdocs/new-website/LL-WorkingDirs/olac/olac-search-advanced.html
Become an OLAC archive: Whether your collection of language data is
large or small, OLAC would like you to add to the catalog by becoming
a "Data Provider". This involves creating a repository of information
describing your data. Please note that you are not being asked to
submit the data itself, so you still have full control over
it. Remember, your data itself does not have to be available on the
internet (a collection of field notes, for example). There are three
different ways to provide data.
1. The OLAC Repository editor (ORE): If you are an individual with
small projects, this method would be the simplest. ORE is a series a
simple online forms. You can enter your information using these forms;
this information is automatically converted into a format that the
OLAC search engine can read. So, if you want your valuable
information to be accessible to the entire linguistic community,
please go to:
http://saussure.linguistlist.org/cfdocs/new-website/LL-WorkingDirs/olac/ore/index.html
and become an OLAC data provider.
2. The Virtual Data Provider (Vida): If you know XML, Vida is a
quicker way of providing data. Create an XML document, and put it on a
publicly-accessible website, Vida can take it and submit it to the
OLAC search engine. Vida is suitable for larger projects that have no
pre-existing catalog database. For more on Vida, please visit:
http://www.language-archives.org/docs/implement.html#Vida
3. Conventional Approach for large archives: If you have a catalog and
programming skills, this is the best method. Here, you implement a
software interface to your database, which creates the XML metadata
and sends it to the OLAC search engine. For more on the Conventional
approach, please visit:

Subject: Where Your Donations Go - Gayathri Sriram
Why do you need a programmer to be a part of LINGUIST List?
All you need is a few experts in linguistics and some one who knows
basic html stuff, right? Nope, that is not true! LINGUIST List has 2
full time programmers (and I am one of the lucky ones!), 2 half-time
programmers, and many editors who also double as programmers. Phew,
thats a lot of programmers -- thanks to your generous donations we can
afford to have this many people working (as you know, programmers
don't come cheap, but, unfortunately, we do need those guys!). We
need all these editors/programmers to design, implement, and maintain
this incredible site you have gotten used to seeing everyday!
I joined LL as a student worker/GA in 2000 when I was working on my
Masters in Information Systems. I really thought I would be doing data
entry stuff, or maintaining the web site -- but, guess what, Helen
Aristar-Dry gave me (a novice, still in school) this wonderful
opportunity to be on the LL database/website design team. Since then,
there has been no looking back for me -- after my graduation, Helen
Aristar-Dry kindly offered me a full-time programmer position. This
has given me a golden opportunity to work with all the latest trends
that technology has to offer. It is not all work and no play working
for LINGUIST -- we have the best potlucks (given our international
crew), and memorable birthday parties (so that we don't miss home). I
think these are reasons enough for me to stick around longer.
Again, I would like to thank you all for your generous donations as
this has made it possible for me to be a part of this amazing crew! I
hope you will continue to enjoy our site, as much as we enjoy working
on giving you the best, the finest, and the latest in linguistics!!

Subject: How to Donate and the LINGUIST List Hall of Fame
This year we hope to raise $50,000 to support the students who work on
LINGUIST List and keep the list running. Thank you from all the crew
for your support.
The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University
and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is
a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number
is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and
sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching scheme, such that they will
match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this
entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us
a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer.
This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the
value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra
penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a
scheme.

payment methods: secure credit card form, check, or wire transfer.
