    Call for Proposals for Free Access to Resources
    Oxford University Press (Trade and Reference Department) is pleased to
    announce a call for research proposals which make use of OUP's extensive
    range of monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, thesauruses, subject
    reference material and related resources - at no cost to you. Proposals are
    welcomed from individuals and research teams in the academic community, and
    will be judged by our expert panel according to research excellence and
    innovative use and development of resources.
    Proposals are due by 31 July 2003.
    Please see www.oup.co.uk/digital_reference for more details. Sample material
    is available for pre-proposal testing. A short application form must be
    submitted, along with a description of the proposed research project. The
    results of the review process will be made available during October 2003. We
    look forward to getting some interesting proposals.
    We have recently undertaken a lot of work on our Oxford Dictionary of
    English data set, with over 170,000 entries covering all varieties of
    English worldwide. The ODE data set constitutes a fully integrated range of
    formal data types suitable for language engineering and NLP applications.
    Please ask for more details.

    If you'd like to make commercial use of data or have any other questions,
    please get in touch with digitalreference.uk@oup.com
