Groupe TLP - RELATOR Project
RELATOR is a European-wide consortium of researchers who, with the support of the European Commission, are striving to establish a European repository of linguistic resources (lexicons, grammars, text corpora, spoken language databases, etc.). In order to fulfill this goal, the project started by making a survey of the linguistic resources already existing in the European Community, trying to acess the most urgent needs and discuss with the relevant actors (e.g. owners of resources, producers, private and public users, funding bodies, international organizations, scientific and professsional associations) the possible methods and structures for the creation, management and maintenance of a European repository of reusable linguistic resources and its dissemination to the various types of users. These solutions are based in pilot experiments with a distributed electronic network (AFS) and centralized CDROM pressing facilities, aiming to produce a set of recommendations for setting up a European infrastructure for written and spoken linguistic resources.
The RELATOR consortium comprises representatives of major coordinating bodies and associations, most notably ELSNET, ESCA, EACL, and EAGLES, and will build on the previous like-minded efforts of these groups. The consortium is assisted by an Industrial Steering Committee, which is made up of representatives of leading IT companies, publishers, telecom operators and other providers of electronic information services.
The consortium is coordinated by the Institute for Computational Linguistics (Pisa - I) and has as other partners LIMSI-CNRS (F), the Centre for Cognitive Science (University of Edinburgh - UK), and DFKI (University of Saarland - D). The associated partners are the Danish Center for Language technology (DK), the Institut de la Communication Parlee (Grenoble - F), INESC (Lisbon - P), and the Institut de Recherches Comparatives sur les Institutions et le Droit (Paris - F).
