JMc: lemon source (wikitionary, wordnet, RDF) http://monnetproject.deri.ie/lemonsource/

FB: from German Telekom Laboratories, interested as a data consumer for query expansion for multimodal mobile services

FB: Wrote an Android App called "AskWiki" that does QA on Wikipedia directly but would probably like to use DBPedia in future.

MiM: Uby: A unified lexical resource, containing 9 resoures in standardized format: http://www.ukp.tu-darmstadt.de/data/lexical-resources/uby/. RDF conversion has not happened yet, but will definitely be done, All data is freely available

APL: OntoLingAnnot: Working in parallel on the ontologies for the annotation of Pragmatics and for the annotation of linguistic relations. Evaluation of consistency, coherence and completeness. Already assigned a place to be stored and a URL link to be accessed. After the evaluation I will publish it all and send the URL to the list. Language/specific DBpedias: http://dbpedia.org/Internationalization

Nancy Ide: a new ISO working group to define exchange protocols for linguistic data, standards for exchange protocols, esp. web services anybody invitedto being involved (voluntary, no obligations, no funding) mail Nancy

Contacts to other organizations
OLAC Open Annotation: (Hennie Brugman) there is interest from several subprojects of the Open Annotation Consortium effort to either model linguistic annotations following the OAC model, or merge existing standards for linguistic annotations (like LAF) with OAC in a useful way. Another interest is linking to reference terminology from Open Annotations.
