A Human Language Technologies Platform for the Dutch language: awareness, management maintenance and distribution
Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2002)
Abstract
In this paper we report on two of the four action lines within the project "Dutch Human Language Technologies Platform": Action line A, which was aimed at raising awareness of the results of HLT research and promoting communication among interested partners, and Action line D, which was concerned with management, maintenance and distribution of HLT resources. Our overview of the results obtained so far reveals that the goals of action lines A and D have been achieved and that there are clear directions for how to proceed in the near future. We hope that the experiences of the Dutch speaking area may be useful to other countries that intend to start similar initiatives.
