7th International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC), Valletta, Malta, 17 - 23 Mayıs 2010
This paper addresses the issues of the long-term availability of language resources and the financing of resource maintenance in the context of the web-based corpus management system employed in the Spoken Turkish Corpus (STC), which operates with EXMARaLDA. Section 2 overviews the capacities of the corpus management system with respect to its software infrastructure, online presentation, metadata management, and interoperability. Section 3 describes the plan foreseen in STC for sustaining the resource, and dwells on the ethical issues surrounding the conflicting demands of free resources for non-commercial research and resource maintenance.
