The project LIDER is coordinated by Prof. Dr. Asunción Gómez Pérez from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). The MultilingualWeb community led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) serves as the umbrella for LIDER public activities.
LIDER started in November 2013 and will last until October 2015. It involves both people who have been active in the previous MultilingualWeb projects (the thematic network and MultilinualWeb-LT), as well as stakeholders from new areas: linked data and language technology.With prominent and more and more widely used data sets like DBpedia in the centre, linked data is becoming a core resource for language technology applications. LIDER will build a pathway for the establishment of a new linked data-based ecosystem of free, interlinked, and semantically interoperable resources.
The LIDER consortium consists of the leading research institutions in this area. They use the MultilingualWeb community as the umbrella of dissemination and outreach activities, and run a dedicated W3C community group Linked Data for Language Technology (LD4LT). The focus language technology application area is content analytics tasks of unstructured multilingual cross-media content.
LIDER has four goals: it will
To achieve these goals, dissemination and community building is cruical. LIDER will run two MultilingualWeb workshops to engage a broad range of industry stakeholders. LIDER will also be active in many other relevant fora, like the European Data Forum or the LREC conferences. LIDER partners will run linked data tutorials and roadmapping workshops for selected audiences interested in the area of linked data and language technology. The outcome of the roadmapping activities will also influence upcoming research opportunities provided e.g. as part of the Horizon 2020 research program.
LIDER aims at re-using existing communities as much as possible.
