[open-linguistics] Language resource identifiers at W3C, ELRA and others

Thu May 15 08:13:18 UTC 2014

The ISLRN as I understand attempts to introduce a single identifier, it is
quite possible that in a linked data context we could work out a service
that resolves these from URIs based on existing repositories (likely
MetaShare). Perhaps, this is something to clear up soon?

Regards,
John
