The
ENABLER (European National Activities for Basic Language
Resources) Network aims at improving cooperation among
national activities established by national authorities
for providing LRs for their languages. The action
aims at: establishing a regular exchange of information;
identifying and fostering possible synergies and cooperation;
promoting the compatibility and interoperability of
their results, thus facilitating the successful transfer
of technologies and tools among languages and the
construction of multilingual LRs; increasing the visibility
and the strategic impact of those national activities
in the field of HLT; contributing to the creation
of an overall framework in which the public and private
sectors, national efforts and international coordination
could cooperate in order to answer the IST need for
LRs. |

The main objective of ELSNET (European Network of
Excellence in Human Language Technologies) is to advance
human language technologies in a broad sense by bringing
together Europe's key players in research, development,
integration or deployment in the field of language
and speech technology and neighbouring areas. The
network's role is to offer an environment that allows
for optimal exploitation of the available human and
intellectual resources in order to advance the field.
This environment comprises a number of structures
(committees, special interest groups), actions (summer
schools, workshops) and services (web site, email
lists, newsletter, information dissemination, knowledge
brokerage). |

The
goal of the NEMLAR (Network for Euro-Mediterranean
LAnguage Resources) is to create a network of qualified
Euro-Mediterranean partners to specify and support
the development of high priority LRs for Arabic and
other local languages in a systematic, standards-driven,
collaborative learning context. The project will focus
on identifying the state of the art of LRs in the
region, assessing priority requirements through consultations
with language industry and communication players,
and establishing a protocol for developing a basic
LR kit for the major forms of the region’s predominant
language – Arabic, and other local wide-spoken
languages where appropriate. |

The
Dutch Language Union (Nederlandse Taalunie, abbreviated
NTU) is an intergovernmental organisation created
in 1980, with the mission to strengthen the position
of the Dutch language. The NTU has adopted a pragmatic,

OntoWeb
(Ontology-based information exchange for knowledge
management and electronic commerce) is a network whose
goal is to bring together researchers and industrials
coming from the research and applications areas above,
promoting interdisciplinary work and strengthening
the European influence on Semantic Web standardisation
efforts such as those based on RDF and XML. Europe's
cultural diversity and multi linguality, together
with the strong scientific competences existing in
the ontology field, may give Europe a unique opportunity
to fully exploit ontology-based technology and to
play a leading role in these emerging area.
