/Press Release - Immediate - Paris, France, December 13, 2013/

*Establishing the International Standard Language Resource Number
 (ISLRN)*

12 major NLP organisations announce the establishment of the ISLRN, a
Persistent Unique Identifier, to be assigned to each Language Resource.

On November 18, 2013, 12 NLP organisations have agreed to announce the
establishment of the International Standard Language Resource Number
(ISLRN), a Persistent Unique Identifier, to be assigned to each Language
Resource. Experiment replicability, an essential feature of scientific
work, would be enhanced by such unique identifier. Set up by ELRA, LDC
and AFNLP/Oriental-COCOSDA, the ISLRN Portal will provide unique
identifiers using a standardised nomenclature, as a service free of
charge for all Language Resource providers. It will be supervised by a
steering committee composed of representatives of participating
organisations and enlarged whenever necessary.
