Agenda MLODE Workshop: http://sabre2012.infai.org/mlode Current publications Future publications Future workshops Future Grants Structure of the working group

MLODE Workshop
September 23-24-25 in Leipzig Call has been sent to the mailing list earlier today. Who will attend? Sebastian Nordhoff Richard Littauer Steve Moran Thorsten Trippel Who has data sets? Who wants to participate?

Five communities are participating. 2-3 of the communities are more geared towards enterprises. OWLG is more about academia, but this should not distract us. Potential for interaction wrt CC-NC for example.

Submit datasets before conference Development team will help convert data to RDF and debug if necessary LLOD cloud has the problem that the datasets are not online, or the RDF contains errors or wrong linking

First day hands on workshop Second data ... Legal advice

Current Publications
People's Web submission of final version uncertain as of today, waiting for confirmation by chch

Future Publications
LRE Journal Project Note 8pp Venue for publicizing the group Full article might take longer

LRE has no fixed deadlines

do we have new material at all?

New information about future workshops etc would make it an acceptable project note, although not a full article.

Jonathan volunteers to spearhead. Sebastian will organize the setup until September and then hand over to Jonathan.

Monnet challenge

LDL raises interest MLODEoid converts the datasets arising from LDL to the LLOD cloud

LSA 2014?

OWLG should be more than only datasets

SLE 2013 should have a call in Octobre for wokshops to be held in autumn 2013

LAGB September

general linguitsics audience computational people prepare a poll to include more OWLG members

general call of LOD specific all to enlarge th cloud

DFG-NEH

language catalogue LLOD

350K USD total to be split between EU and US for three years

get money for workshops

LinguistList + resources from MPI-EVA

MPI-EVA, MPI-PL, LinguistList, UBuffalo, U Frankfurt are already actively talking about Language Catalogues (ISO 639-3, ISO 639-6). There might be a chance to get LLOD data in there. SN will add Steve to discussion with institutinos mentioned

Nancy is going to OpenXXX project.

EU Research infrastructure integrating programme
http://ec.europa.eu/research/infrastructures/index_en.cfm?pg=consultation

BMBF Ehumanities
http://www.bmbf.de/foerderungen/16466.php Should interface with CLARIN  and DARIAH Computational + Humanities

NSF
J Pustejovksy and Nancy just got grant for web services

WEBLICHT (parsers, taggers, tokenizers) Panacea Luca Dini (Lingweb?) transduce GrAF to RDF

we need corpora in RDF and web annotations

chch is linking Nancy's corpus to WordNet and FrameNet

Structure of the working group
The WG has grown beyond 100 members now. The informal structures we used up to now allowed us some agility, but the bigger size might require some more formal strucures. One reason would be the diffusion of responsibility in large groups, the other one is representation of the group in the outside world. The following is a list of potential setups

1) do nothing. Everything remains as is 2) designate a number of roles (Conference person, PR person, publication person, mailing list person) who oversee and try to achieve progress in a particular domain and report to the OWLG in regular intervals 3) designate a steering committee 4) create a small 'core group' (NI)

JP: have a look at domains on website and design something around the domains found there TT: not too much structure

NI: small groups of people who take the lead tend to work better than larger groups

postpone decision for 2-3 telco sessions and see whether attendance might require more structure. As of now, attendance (n=7) does not require formal structure

miscellanea
relation to OKFN seems to be clear, no need for clarification
