  1. COCOSDA Meeting • summing up some impressions after a very dense week – • on one hand the “big and slightly smaller” challenges of the discipline • highly competitive area • much to do from experts to achieve real steps • on the other hand we need to open up the field in a number of dimensions • it is a huge effort as well • it is an area where only large scale collaboration will help • what are we addressing when we say “opening up” • it’s not per se about solving industrial, commercial, cultural heritage • problems now • there are agendas and we need experts • it’s to a large extent about strategic plans and boosting research • example taken from Ontolex meeting

  2. solving problems in semantic processing and language understanding • excellent talk from the Framenet people • describe a certain framework to formalize semantics • huge effort of experts to create useful content • framework makes a number of assumptions + defines constraints • according to a certain theory (Fillmore etc) • a couple of other interesting talks using other specialized frameworks • do we really belief that this will scale up? • on the other side • what happens in our institute and what will VWS do (other places??) • researchers (young) are starting to use the possibilities of a huge • archive full of interesting resources • they start commenting, drawing relations ... -> enrichment • they are eager to create rich knowledge basis and “ontologies” • yet we don’t know what they all will do • what should we do? • should we now tell them to first learn about the Framenet formalism • NOOOO – give them flexible frameworks • ask experts later to work on it – get essentials etc • this is just one example

  3. Opening up • need to get a momentum and a boost for research • my beliefs obviously shared by many CLARIN, DELAMAN, LangWeb, ... • my beliefs went into the CLARIN proposal for the ESFRI process • (will make it openly available next week, was written by Steven, Martin, • Tamas and myself with many contributions from a Pan-European community) • it is all about a stable and persistent infrastructure/services for a broad community • getting LR&T out of the domain of the experts (aligner example) • opening to the individual researcher, to the humanities, to the young, ... • making resources and technology visible • making resources and technology accessible • making resources freely available to researchers -> Open Access • solving the integration problems (Grid/DL stuff – see also DAM-LR) • solving the interoperability problems at different layers • asking for open commentaries etc – learn from the Wiki folks • (take care that we filter the good stuff, let people built on good stuff etc) • open the “archives” for all sort of contributions (80% rule) • create a rich domain of services • allow for aggregate services • etc etc etc

  4. RI Workshop on Monday • a number of talks going about different areas • political process and EC position • international perspective (Linda Barwick, Sadaoki Furui) • state of the community • organizational models • relevance of standards (ISO, ...) • some concrete contributions about Grid/DL and small RI • open discussion • obviously very much support • HERA • quality issue • rights issue • closed members meeting • little bit of formalization • need to push the “national formation process” • for stable services we need a number of “centers/archives” who take care • certainly forgot a lot – leave it to the discussion
