The
goal of IMDI (ISLE Meta Data Initiative) is to make
a proposal for a standard of meta-data descriptions
of Multi-Media/Multi-Modal Language resources. Using
such a standard it will become possible to create
a browsable and searchable universe of such resources
in the Internet. This will enable interested parties
to efficiently locate suitable resources and thus
increases their reusability.

OLAC
(Open Language Archives Community) is an international
partnership of institutions and individuals who are
creating a worldwide virtual library of language resources
by (i) developing consensus on best current practice
for the digital archiving of language resources and
(ii) developing a network of interoperating repositories
and services for housing and accessing such resources.

INTERA
(Integrated European language data Repository Area)
is a project which has essentially two pillars: (1)
to build an integrated European language resource
area by connecting international, national and regional
data centers and (2) to produce new multilingual language
resources. The first goal involves the integration
of a critical mass of different types of language
resources with help of metadata descriptions and the
interlinking of the resulting distributed resource
repository with an existing tool repository thus enabling
users to directly start suitable tools on the included
resources. INTERA anticipates that this integrated
and interlinked metadata description domain will facilitate
the access to language resources in Europe and help
professionals in industry, the eContent business,
research and education, and increase the usage of
the resources already available. The second goal addresses
the lack of quality of multilingual resources, especially
for less widely spoken languages, including Balkan
ones, which are of crucial importance to the development
of the eContent business. INTERA goes further ahead
by developing examplary methods for their business
attractive production.
