[Nicholas Thieberger]

A follow up message as there are still some places available in the 
one-day training workshop on linguistic data management  offered by 
the Resource Network for Linguistic Diversity (RNLD) on September 
27th 2005 preceding the Australian Linguistic Society Conference. The 
workshop will be held in the Department of Linguistics & Applied 
Linguistics at The University of Melbourne.

There will be a $20 charge to cover costs for students or $40 for 
non-students, including morning and afternoon tea, lunch, and 
workshop notes.

The training workshop will cover the following topics:
- general linguistic data management
- archiving data before analysis rather than some time after
- creation of persistent identification and citability of data
- creating metadata and managing small-medium scale linguistic data collections
- transcription of digital media with time-alignment of transcripts.
- interlinearising multilingual data with Shoebox
- managing a lexical database as the basis for dictionary production, 
using Shoebox
- conversion of data using regular expressions
