Twenty Years of Language Resource Development and Distribution: A Progress Report on LDC Activities

Christopher Cieri, Marian Reed, Denise DiPersio, Mark Liberman


Abstract
On the Linguistic Data Consortium's (LDC) 20th anniversary, this paper describes the changes to the language resource landscape over the past two decades, how LDC has adjusted its practice to adapt to them and how the business model continues to grow. Specifically, we will discuss LDC's evolving roles and changes in the sizes and types of LDC language resources (LR) as well as the data they include and the annotations of that data. We will also discuss adaptations of the LDC business model and the sponsored projects it supports.
