| Abstract | In this paper we present the LREC Map of Language Resources and Tools, aninnovative feature introduced with this LREC. The purpose of the Map is to shedlight on the vast amount of resources and tools that represent the backgroundof the research presented at LREC, in the attempt to fill in a gap in thecommunity knowledge about the resources and tools that are used or createdworldwide. It also aims at a change of culture in the field, actively engagingeach researcher in the documentation task about resources. The Map has beendeveloped on the basis of the information provided by LREC authors during thesubmission of papers to the LREC 2010 conference and the LREC workshops, andcontains information about almost 2000 resources. The paper illustrates themotivation behind this initiative, its main characteristics, its relevance andfuture impact in the field, the metadata used to describe the resources, andfinally presents some of the most relevant findings. |
