The STELLA Project at the University of Glasgow is planning the development
of a data grid portal to facilitate research in the languages of Scotland.
The project will provide a common, single screen, search interface to
several data sets required by scholars of the languages of Scotland: namely
the Scottish Corpus of Texts and Speech, the Dictionary of the Scots
Language, the Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue, the Scottish
National Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary.

I would welcome comments from linguists. Would you be interested in using
such a portal? Would you like to be involved?

Thanks,
Jean Anderson
