Latvian Language Resources and Tools: Assessment, Description and Sharing

摘要

This paper describes our work on identification, assessment and cataloguing of Latvian language resources for sharing through an open language resource infrastructure. This work was carried out in the META-NORD project which is the Baltic and Nordic branch of the pan-European network META-NET. Criteria and results of the assessment are provided for the major groups of Latvian language resources and tools. Critical gaps are discussed and general strategy to address them outlined. The on-going work on language resource selection and preparation of metadata is described for their distribution on the pan-European sharing and distribution platform META-SHARE.
