AndAsianLanguage Resources

Title: andAsianLanguage Resources

Research Question: How can language resources be effectively shared and discovered in the Asian context?

Methodology: The study proposes the Open Language Archives Community (OLAC), a system of federated language archives based on the Open Archives Initiative and the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. It discusses two key issues in the Asian context: language classification and multilingual resource classification.

Results: The OLAC system has successfully documented language tools and data, making them easily discoverable by others. It has also classified languages and resources, improving the efficiency of resource discovery.

Implications: The OLAC project has paved the way for a worldwide system of language archives, benefiting linguists, engineers, teachers, and speakers. It has also set a standard for language resource documentation and classification, which can be applied in other regions.
