/Press Release – Immediate/
/Paris, France, June 8, 2017/
*The International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN) assigned to
LRE Map 2016 Language Resources*
As a follow-up of the LRE Map 2016 initiative, ELRA has processed the
information on existing and newly-created Language Resources provided by
the authors submitting at LREC 2016 Conference
(http://lrec2016.lrec-conf.org). In order to increase the visibility of
these resources, ELRA has allocated ISLRNs to 106 submitted languages
resources. They distribute as follows:
* 73 Corpora (ca. written, spoken, multimodal)
* 30 Lexicons (including ontologies)
* 3 Evaluation Data
The meta-information for these language resources is also available on
the ISLRN website with a broad international audience.
*Background*
As part of an international effort to document and archive the various
language resource development efforts around the world, a system of
assigning ISLRNs was established in November 2013. The ISLRN is a unique
/persistent identifier/ to be assigned to each language resource. The
establishment of ISLRNs was a major step in the networked and shared
world of human language technologies. Unique resources must be
identified as they are, and meta-catalogues require a common
identification format to manage data correctly. Therefore, language
resources should carry identical identification schemes independent of
their representations, whatever their types and wherever their physical
locations (on hard drives, internet or intranet). Visit: http://islrn.org/.
*About LRE Map*
Initiated by ELRA and FlareNet at LREC 2010 (http://www.lrec-conf.org),
the LRE Map is a mechanism intended to monitor the use and creation of
language resources by collecting information on both existing and
newly-created resources during the submission process. Apart from
providing a portrait of the resources behind the community, of their
uses and usability, the LRE Map intends to be a measuring instrument for
monitoring the field of language resources. The feature has been so
successful that it has been implemented also at other major conferences
like COLING, IJCNLP, Interspeech, LTC, ACLHT, O-COCOSDA, RANLP, in
addition to the LRE Journal. Visit: http://lremap.elra.info
