[open-linguistics] Open Linguistics updates

[Christian Chiarcos]

Dear all,

2016 has been an active and enormously busy year for people working on  
linked data and open data in linguistics and natural language processing.  
We have had a very nice and well-attended workshop on Linked Data in  
Linguistics at LREC-2016, we've seen a growing number of related  
workshops, we are in the process of starting a new series of full-fledged  
conferences, numerous publications have been put forward (including the  
final OntoLex report), and quite a few interesting projects have been  
started.

However, with the New Year approaching fast, I realized how little of this  
has been communicated over the list, so I would like to help reviving the  
tradition of 6-weekly telcos by asking around for time preferences to have  
a skype (or hangout) call in December.

Topics include:
- updates since summer 2016 (workshops, conferences, standardization  
activities, projects)
- status of LLOD and LLOD infrastructure
- upcoming events: Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK-2017), Summer  
Datathon on Linguistic Linked Open Data (SD-LLOD 2017)
- workshop plans: where and when to hold the next issue of Linked Data in  
Linguistics
- defining/confirming data categories for the LLOD cloud diagram
- more to be added

So, what are your ideas on possible times and further topics?

Best regards,
Christian
