Full Title: 3rd Workshop on Linked Data in Linguistics 
Short Title: LDL-2014 

Date: 27-May-2014 - 27-May-2014
Location: Reykjavik, Iceland 
Contact Person: Christian Chiarcos
Meeting Email: christian.chiarcos at web.de
Web Site: http://ldl2014.org/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Computational Linguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 16-Feb-2014 

Meeting Description:

The workshop is associated with LREC 2014.

The goal of the workshop is twofold. First, we will assemble researchers from various fields of linguistics, natural language 
processing, knowledge management and information technology to present and discuss principles, case studies, and best practices 
for representing, publishing and linking mono- and multilingual linguistic and knowledge data collections, including corpora, 
grammars, dictionaries, wordnets, translation memories, domain specific ontologies etc. In this sense, we particularly invite 
contributions discussing the application of the Linked Open Data paradigm to linguistic data as it might provide an important step 
towards making linguistic data:

i) Easily and uniformly queryable
ii) Interoperable
iii) Sharable over the Web using open standards such as the HTTP protocol and the RDF data model

Final Call for Datasets: 

Linked Data in Linguistics 2014 - Data Challenge 
Collocated with LREC 2014 
Reykjavik, Iceland, 27th May 2014 
http://ldl2014.org/challenge.html 

This year, there is a data challenge associated to the Linguistic Linked Data Workshop. In addition to regular workshop 
papers, we will accept dataset description of 4-6 pages describing linguistically or NLP-relevant datasets published on the web 
as linked data published on the web as linked data. These 
linguistic datasets include, but are not limited to, lexica, terminologies, semantic networks, annotated and parallel corpora, 
multimodal resources, typological resources and linguistic metadata. The data challenge committee will review and evaluate 
data according to the following criteria, with prizes of up 
to €700, funded by the LIDER project, awarded to the highest scoring datasets: 

Availability: 
- Use of Linked Data and RDF 
- Hosted on a publicly accessible server and be available both during the period of the evaluation and beyond 
- Use of an open license 

Quality of resource: 
- Represents useful linguistically or NLP-relevant information 
- Reuses relevant standards and models 
- Contains complex, non-trivial information, e.g., multiple levels of annotation 

Linking: 
- Links to external resources 
- Reuse of existing properties and categories 

Impact/usefulness of the resource: 
- Relevant and likely to be reused by many researchers in NLP and wider fields 
- Uses linked data to improve the quality of and access to the resource 

Originality: 
- Represents a type of resource or a community currently underrepresented in (L)LOD cloud activities 
- Facilitates novel and unforeseen applications or use cases (as described by the authors) enabled through Linked Data 
technology 

Submission and Publication: 

We accept dataset descriptions of 4-6 pages, which include a URL under which the data is available. The papers of the 
workshop will be published as online proceedings. All submissions can be presented as lightning talks or posters, albeit such 
a presentation is optional. In addition, we aim for a journal special issue as post-conference proceedings in which a selected 
amount of papers presented at the workshop will be published. When submitting a dataset description, authors will be asked 
to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that 
have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all 
LREC authors to share the described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.), to enable their reuse, replicability of experiments, 
including evaluation ones, etc. For contact data, stylesheets, up-to-date details on submission and the workshop itself, please 
consult our website: http://ldl2014.org. Specific details on dataset submissions and the challenge can be found under 
http://ldl2014.org/challenge.html.
