                      CALL FOR PARTICIPATION (2nd call)

               Web-Based Language Documentation and Description

                    Philadelphia USA, 12-15 December 2000

                 Institute for Research in Cognitive Science
                          University of Pennsylvania

     Organizers: Steven Bird (U Penn) and Gary Simons (SIL International)

    This workshop will lay the foundation of an open, web-based
    infrastructure for collecting, storing and disseminating the primary
    materials which document and describe human languages, including
    wordlists, lexicons, annotated signals, interlinear texts, paradigms,
    field notes, and linguistic descriptions, as well as the metadata
    which indexes and classifies these materials. The infrastructure will
    support the modeling, creation, archiving and access of these
    materials, using centralized respositories of metadata, data, best
    practice guidelines, and open software tools.

    Abstract deadline: Friday 1 September
