This page is for meta-resources that are applicable to many languages.
Language-independent NLP Resources have their own page.


Metadata standards and infrastructure

  • 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.

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.
