The ELRA Catalogue of Language Resources at OLAC

In the framework of its ongoing collaborative work with the OLAC
community and in order to improve its compliance with OLAC standards,
ELRA is pleased to announce that the OLAC archive of its Catalogue of
Language Resources has been updated. According to OLAC standards, the
ELRA Catalogue archive achieves the maximum rate of 5 stars on the
OLAC scale.
 
The ELRA Catalogue has been exported into OLAC standards by means of
associating the ELRA metadata for describing Language Resources with
the OLAC metadata. Daily updates are performed through the automatic
harvesting of the ELRA Catalogue which is carried out by the OLAC
server.

With this work, ELRA aims at rendering its catalogue more visible to
the wider community and it contributes to sharing information on
Language Resources through standardized metadata sets.
