> Description
>
> Language resources play an essential role in empirical approaches to
> natural language processing. Previous concerted efforts on
> construction of language resources, particularly in the US and EU,
> have laid a solid foundation for the pioneering NLP research in these
> two communities over the last decade. In comparison, availability and
> accessibility of Asian language resources is still very limited; even
> though Asia can boast of much richer linguistic contents in terms of
> cultural, historical, and structural variations. This workshop will
> focus on the construction, dissemination, as well as research results
> based on Asian language resources. It is an explicit goal of this
> workshop to investigate the possibilities of collaborating on the
> development of Asian language resources in the future. We invite
> papers on all topics related to Asian language resources, in
> particular resource development, sharing, exchange, as well as
> research based on language source, including, but not limited to:
>
> *  Text corpora
> *  Machine-readable dictionaries
> *  Lexicons
> *  Grammars
> *  Corpus annotation schemata
> *  Tools for constructing language resources
> *  Treebanks
> *  Multilingual resources
> *  WordNets/Thesauri
> *  Exchange formats/Encoding standards
> *  Organization
