2 Helen Dry & Anthony Aristar LINGUIST List: http://linguistlist.org LREC Symposium: The Open Language Archives Community 29 May 2002http://linguistlist.org OLAC, EMELD, & Us

3 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 Who is Us ? The community of academic linguists who produce data & documentation on languages who use language data & documentation in their research Includes most subscribers to The LINGUIST List

4 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 The LINGUIST List 15,600 subscribers 106 different countries 4 European mirror sites: Tübingen | Stockholm Edinburgh | Moscow Current project: EMELD...

5 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 What is E-MELD? Electronic Metastructure for Endangered Languages Data 5 year collaborative project, begun Sept. 2001 Participants: The LINGUIST List (Eastern Michigan University, Wayne State University, University of Arizona) The Linguistic Data Consortium (University of Pennsylvania) The Endangered Languages Fund (Yale University, Haskins Laboratories) Funded by NSF

6 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 E-MELD Objectives: To aid in … … the preservation of Endangered Languages (EL ) data and documentation … the development of infrastructure for linguistic archives

7 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 The Problem with EL archives: Lack of interoperability < many different procedures and data formats Lack of permanence < use of proprietary tools & standards unstable institutional support Inadequate input from linguists into the standards-setting enterprise A L

8 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 Result: Endangered Languages plus Endangered data

9 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 EMELD Components Catalog of language resources on the Internet Promotion of community consensus about best practice in: Language identification Resource description Markup or annotation Showroom of Best Practice

10 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 Showroom of Best Practice Information on standards & software Query Room, where questions may be addressed to native speakers Texts and lexicons from 10 ELs marked up according to best practice

11 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 Languages Mocovi (Guaicuruan) 7000 speakers [EMU] Biao Min (Mienic) 21,000 speakers [WSU] Ega (Kwa) 300 speakers [LDC] Cambap (Mambiloid) 30 speakers [LDC] Lakota (Macro-Siouan) [ELF] Tofa (Turkic) [ELF] Two from: Alamblak, Dadibi, Mapos Buang, Takaulu Kalagan, Tuwali Ifugao - [SIL] Two from Post-Docs as yet to be determined.

12 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 OLAC & EMELD: OLAC Common Goals EMELD Needed: Collaboration!

13 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 Components 1.Catalog of resources 2.Promotion of community consensus about best practice in: 1.Resource description 2.Language identification OLAC Service Provider OLAC metadata Ethnologue /LINGUIST language codes proposed as OLAC best practice OLAC-related

14 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 LINGUIST = Gateway to Language Resources Archive 1Archive 2Archive 3 LINGUIST = OLAC Service Provider Data Provider 1Data Provider 2Data Provider 3 Key = Metadata

15 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 What you need to know to … Understand Metadata Yes a) Standardization is power b) Standardization is hard Why ?? Is it really important? Is it really as simple as it sounds ? (for Computers) (for People)

16 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 Metadata Data about data, e.g., cataloguing information Facilitates resource description, including summarization Enables search and retrieval

17 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 How LINGUIST will use Metadata Harvest metadata from OLAC archives Collect metadata from individual linguists Provide a searchable database of information (metadata) on Language data & documentation Software & tools Standards & formats

18 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 An Example Derbyshire, Desmond C. Topic continuity and OVS order in Hixkaryana In Joel Sherzer and Greg Urban (eds.), Native South American discourse, 237-306. Berlin: Mouton. Word order

19 OLAC Metadata... built on Dublin Core set of 15 elements: Language Publisher Relation Rights Source Subject Title Type Contributor Coverage Creator Date Description Format Identifier

20 Added for Language Resources : Subject.language A language the resource is about E.g. A Grammar of Russian written in English has Subject.language = Russian Type.linguistic The nature of the content from a linguistic point of view E.g. transcription, annotation, description, lexicon

21 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 Important for LL Searching Derbyshire, Desmond C. Topic continuity and OVS order in Hixkaryana In Joel Sherzer and Greg Urban (eds.), Native South American discourse, 237-306. Berlin: Mouton. Word order

22 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 What s been done so far: -OLAC harvester on the LINGUIST site: -http://saussure.linguistlist.org/olac/http://saussure.linguistlist.org/olac/ -OLAC metadata editor (ORE) on the LINGUIST site: - http://saussure.linguistlist.org/olac/ore/http://saussure.linguistlist.org/olac/ -Language identification: -Code list for ancient languages, constructed languages, and language families to complement the Ethnologue code list -Everything on LINGUIST site (not just harvested metadata) categorized according to these codes: see Directory of LinguistsDirectory of Linguists

23 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 What needs to be added?...to LINGUIST Gateway Advice about software, tools, formats User reviews of archives, software Look up for Controlled vocabularies OLAC best practice

24 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 What needs to be done?...on Language Codes Mechanism ensuring community input into system Establishment of working group using OLAC process Promotion of code use among OLAC data providers

25 OLAC Launch, LREC-02 Outcome? Data Access Data Permanence Improved Accuracy of language representation
