To do this in a scalable and cost effective way, many are turning to <strong>automated language technologies<\/strong>. These can assist in: discovering\/extracting information; understanding opinions\/trends; processing and managing multilingual\/multimedia content and data; and monitoring\/forcasting topics of interest.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you are already considering or using language technologies you will understand the key role played by <strong>data<\/strong> in training automated language technologies to meet the needs of your specific application. Locating, collecting and determining the quality and relevance of such linguistic data therefore forms a major cost, and a barrier, for the successful use of language technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Open linked data on the web, using standards developed by the W3C, may offer an ideal solution to discover and exchange linguistic data across a wide range of commercial and governmental applications. However, establishing international best-practice and developing open technical specifications requires a much better understanding of these different applications and their requirements.<\/p>\n<p>To this end, a new W3C community group has been formed to assemble and discuss use cases and data handling requirements for language technology applications. We invite you now to join the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/ld4lt\/\">Linked Data for Language Technology<\/a> (LD4LT) group and engage in these activities. You can provide an indication of your particular interests and requirements via the initial survey at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2002\/09\/wbs\/1\/ld4lt-wbs1\/\">https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2002\/09\/wbs\/1\/ld4lt-wbs1\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We also invite you to participate in any of the upcoming road-mapping workshops being organised by the group at the following events:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/ld4lt\/wiki\/LD4LT_Group_Kick-Off_and_Roadmap_Meeting\">LD4LT Group kick-off <\/a>21 March in Athens, Greece, co-located with the <a href=\"http:\/\/2014.data-forum.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">European Data Forum 2014<\/a><\/li>\n<li>7-8 May in Madrid, Spain, as part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.multilingualweb.eu\/documents\/2014-madrid-workshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">7th W3C Multilingual Web Workshop<\/a><\/li>\n<li>3 June in Dublin, Ireland, co-located with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.localizationworld.com\/lwdub2014\/cfp.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">LocWorld conference<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The results of these consultations will be published for discussion via the LD4LT group.
