This page is for meta-resources that are applicable to many languages.
Language-independent NLP Resources have their own page.
Metadata standards and infrastructure
[Mark Mandel 14:07, 4 May 2011 (EDT)]
- e-linguistics. “a cyber-infrastructure for linguistics ... meant to promote a paradigm shift within the field of linguistics where data are: interoperable -- shared -- open”
- E-MELD: Electronic Metastructure for Endangered Languages Data. “a 5-year project with a dual objective: 1) To aid in the preservation of endangered languages data and documentation. 2) To aid in the development of the infrastructure necessary for effective collaboration among electronic archives.” A LINGUIST List project.
- “If linguistic archives are to offer the widest possible access to the data and provide it in a maximally useful form, consensus must be reached about certain aspects of archive infrastructure. The primary goal of E-MELD is to promote this consensus.”
- GOLD Community ("General Ontology of Linguistic Description"):
- “The purpose of the GOLD Community is to bring together scholars interested in best-practice encoding of linguistic data. We promote best practice as suggested by E-MELD, encourage data interoperability through the use of the GOLD Standard, facilitate search across disparate data sets and provide a platform for sharing existing data and tools from related research projects. [...] This standard encompasses linguistic concepts, definitions of these concepts and relationships between them in a freely available ontology.”

Description
- Language Description Heritage Open Access Library. “The goal of the Language Description Heritage (LDH) Open Access Digital Library is to provide easy access to descriptive material about the world’s languages. This collection is being compiled at the Max Planck Society in Germany as an open access digital repository of existing scientific contribution describing the world-wide linguistic diversity, focussing on traditionally difficult to obtain works.” [Mamandel 13:13, 12 October 2010 (UTC) ]
