[open-linguistics] LDL-2012 status publication

[Nancy Ide]

Hi everyone,

I for one thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and want to thank Christian and the two Sebastians for their very successful organization!

I would like to suggest that as a further effort towards making the OWLG more visible, we consider submitting a short note (8 pages) that is along the lines of the conference paper to to the journal I co-edit with Nicoletta Calzolari, Language Resources and Evaluation. If the paper is the LREC one, then publishing a version in LRE (which is a sort of companion to LREC) would be very appropriate.

Again, many thanks to the organizers for a very worthwhile and enjoyable workshop!

Best,
Nancy

As far as I am concerned, I had a great time, and I was really surprised by the number of people and by the continuing interest in linked data in linguistics. For me, it was fascinating, but I also feel quite exhausted :) Anyway, thanks to everyone who managed to join us.

But there is one relatively urgent item, and this is concerned with creating a joint publication. At the moment, we have some joint publications in the pipeline, including a conference paper that should serve as a general introduction and overview over the OWLG, on-going activities and pet projects of some its members. For the time being, this paper would represent the first joint publication of the OWLG, and until the next "status paper" will appear, this would serve as a reference.

Details of the publication will be discussed on a personal basis among those who volunteered.
