An appeal

To the NLP researchers in India and abroad

As you already know, the Ministry of Human Resource Development as one of its Eleventh Plan initiatives has set up the Linguistic Data Consortium for Indian Languages (LDC-IL) under the aegis of the Central Institute of Indian Languages. In the proposed activities of the LDC-IL, the focus is on

In this connection I seek the kind cooperation of the NLP Community in India and abroad. As a first step, since the LDC-IL has to become a repository of Linguistic Resources in all Indian languages, I request the teams working with you to kindly provide the language resources/tools created to the repository of the LDC-IL and enrich the same. Due acknowledgement will be given to the creators of the languages resources when the resources are licensed to third party. Also, the Working Group on Licensing is debating various issues concerning licensing of the language resources of the LDC-IL. While finalizing the licensing policy, the Licensing Committee will take care of the possible revenue sharing that is generated due to licensing of the resources acquired by the LDC-IL.

At the first instance I request you to kindly provide a list of language resources that you would like to provide to the repository of the LDC-IL and once we get full details from all the NLP groups, we shall be asking the creators of the language resources to kindly lend them to the LDC-IL.
