Dear list members !

I have a question.

There is a term often used in CL - "balanced corpus". Can anybody
tell or point me - is (if) this term strictly defined - and what is
its definition.

Does the definition "balanced corpus" include the properties
("balance" of them) of the inner structure of a corpus - or there is a
balance of user's demands to its contents?

Or - is it "balance" of both - outer and inner conditions?
