Abstract: |
This paper describes a new research initiative addressing the issue of sustainability of linguistic resources. The
initiative is a cooperation between three collaborative research centres in Germany – the SFB 441 “Linguistic
Data Structures” in Tübingen, the SFB 538 “Multilingualism” in Hamburg, and the SFB 632 “Information
Structure” in Potsdam/Berlin. The aim of the project is to develop methods for sustainable archiving of the
diverse bodies of linguistic data used at the three sites. In the first half of the paper, the data handling solutions
developed so far at the three centres are briefly introduced. This is followed by an assessment of their
commonalities and differences and of what these entail for the work of the new joint initiative. The second part
then sketches seven areas of open questions with respect to sustainable data handling and gives a more detailed
account of two of them – integration of linguistic terminologies and development of best practice guidelines. |
