Workshop on Digital Language Archives



Digital librarians and archivists who are concerned with the documentation
and description of human languages may be interested in this forthcoming
workshop:




                          CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

             Web-Based Language Documentation and Description

                   Philadelphia USA, 12-15 December 2000

                Institute for Research in Cognitive Science
                        University of Pennsylvania

              http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/exploration/expl2000/

   Organizers: Steven Bird (U Penn) and Gary Simons (SIL International)


 This workshop will lay the foundation of an open, web-based
 infrastructure for collecting, storing and disseminating the primary
 materials which document and describe human languages, including
 wordlists, lexicons, annotated signals, interlinear texts, paradigms,
 field notes, and linguistic descriptions, as well as the metadata
 which indexes and classifies these materials.  The infrastructure will
 support the modeling, creation, archiving and access of these
 materials, using centralized respositories of metadata, data, best
 practice guidelines, and open software tools.

 Deadline for registration: 1 November
