    The 4th Workshop on Asian Language Resources
    (http://www.crl-asia.org/tcl/alr-04)

    Language resources play a very essential role when corpus-based,
    stochastic, and learning approaches was introduced to natural language
    processing research. Many research units put great efforts on
    developing the corpus for their particular purpose, and some focus on
    compiling various kinds of language resources. In European community,
    it moves to the step of finding the standard of specification for
    consolidating technological achievement and exchanging and sharing of
    existing language resources. ENABLER / ELSNET Workshop -
    "International Roadmap for Language Resources" in Paris, in
    August 2003, is one of the attempt to prepare a map of the language
    resources landscape and to launch the International Coordination
    Committee for Written Language Resources and Evaluation, aimed at
    coordinating actions to prepare and maintain the resources landscape
    map and roadmap.

    Asia, the land of language variation, are suffering from the shortage
    of sharing the resource and cross language problem solving
    experience. There are several reports referring to the success of
    constructing and using corpora in many dimensions. However, there are
    few efforts in establishing common formats or frameworks for handling
    these languages. The re-organizing the existing resources and finding
    for the guideline in corpus development become significant issue in
    the current research.

    The 4th workshop on Asian Language Resources will be held with the
    following purposes:

    - To investigate and discuss the problems related to the construction,
      dissemination and NLP research based on Asian Language Resources
    - To establish the collaborative effort on Asian language resources
      construction, management, accessibility, distribution, and sharing
    - To launch the Asian Language Resources road map
    - To introduce the status of Asian language resources to researchers
      in other regions

    Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    * Text corpora
    * Machine-readable dictionaries
    * Lexicons
    * Ontology
    * Grammars
    * Exchange and annotation schemata
    * Infrastructure for constructing and sharing language resources
    * Exchange formats
    * Best practices for creating and disseminating language resources
    * Meta data for resource classification and discovery
    * Strategies and priorities for EU-US and Asian cooperation
    * Standards for language resources (lexicons, corpora, ontologies, etc.)
    * Lexical standards and multi-linguality
    * Standards for content management
    * Standards and applications
    * Standards and evaluation

    Important Dates:

    Paper submission deadline: January 3, 2004 (extended)
    Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2004 (extended)
    Camera ready papers due: January 24, 2004
