ELDA ("Evaluations and Language resources Distribution Agency") is a key
player of the Human Language Technology domain. Operational body of
ELRA, the European Language Resources Association, a European
not-for-profit organisation promoting language resources in a European
context, ELDA is in charge of executing a number of tasks on behalf of
ELRA, including both the distribution and the production of Language
Resources. Within the production projects, ELDA is often in the position
of coordinating resource annotations, as well as performing quality
control of these annotations.
Thus, ELDA supports the organization of ELRA’s biannual international
scientific conference, LREC, the Language Resources and Evaluation
Conference, which brings together, an increasing number (1200+) of
top-tier researchers from all over the world, who submit and present
scientific research articles.
In order to ease the navigation in this thesaurus of scientific
articles, ELDA has set up a set of Web sites gathering the articles
themselves, as well as the corresponding metadata (authors, titles,
article abstracts, etc.).
In this context, ELDA wants to consolidate these sites, allowing the
users to rely on a robust and exhaustive search throughout the article
collections for all the editions of the LREC conference.
