The Linked Data in Linguistics (LDL) workshop series has established itself as the premier venue for discussing the application of Semantic Web technologies to the fields of linguistics, digital lexicography, and digital humanities (DH).
While recent years have witnessed a steady growth in adoption of the technology in these areas, its uptake in other relevant domains, most notably in the case of natural language processing (NLP), continues to lag behind.
This year, aside from embracing the full bandwidth of applications of LLOD technologies and the closely related area of knowledge graphs in linguistics, we welcome contributions addressing the application of LLOD technologies to NLP applications, as well as those dealing with emerging hot topics of future bridges between structured (linguistic) knowledge and neural methods.
In addition, this year’s edition of the workshop will be a venue for in-depth discussions on community standards and best practices, and, above all, those related to the work of the W3C community groups OntoLex [1], LD4LT [2] and BPMLOD [3]. To this end, it will include featured talks on the latest achievements, developments, and perspectives of these W3C Community Groups.
[1] Ontology-Lexica Community Group
[2] Linked Data in Language Technology Community Group
[3] Best Practices in Multilingual Linked Open Data
Topics of interest
We invite presentations of algorithms, methodologies, experiments, tools, use cases, descriptions of ongoing or planned research projects as well as position papers that describe the creation, publication or application of linked linguistic data collections and their linking with other resources. Descriptions of such data, and in particular, its uses in research (linguistics, lexicology, digital humanities) and technology (NLP, e-lexicography, localization) are also welcome. The following is a non-exhaustive list of relevant topics:
1) Building, managing and linking language resources
2) Technologies, challenges and best practices for language technology and language resources on the web:
3) Structured data in language technology:
4) Show cases, case studies and applications by different communities of practice:
5) Current directions and critical reflection. Position papers on:
We invite both long (8 pages and 2 pages of references) and short papers (4 pages and 2 pages of references) representing original research, innovative approaches and resource descriptions. Short papers may also represent project descriptions. These do not have to be implemented but discuss to what extent and for which purposes Linguistic Linked Open Data is reused or created. Projects that are still in their early stages and seek advice from the broader Linguistic Linked Data community are welcome, especially if they include underrepresented fields of study.
Papers should be formatted according to the LREC-COLING guidelines, please see https://lrec-coling-2024.org/authors-kit/. Please note that the review process will be single-blind.
Identify, Describe and Share your LRs!
When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC-COLING authors to share the described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.) to enable their reuse and replicability of experiments (including evaluation ones).
