Language Resource Metadata Project - Planning Workshop"

The proposal seeks funding for a Planning Workshop for the Language Resource Metadata Project, to be held at Brown University in mid-October, 2003. This meeting of the working group and members of the Brown Library and CIS communities is intended to provide background for on-going projects at Brown (such as the Digitial Library Initiative and STG's database project) that will have a significant impact on the scope of the Language Resource Metadata Project. The Metadata Project is an on-going collaboration between language educators from Columbia University, Dartmouth College, and Brown to develop and refine standards for high-quality metadata, along with standards for the format, storage, and transmission of digitized language learning materials (such as images, texts, audio, and video).
