        <ms:organizationBio xml:lang="en">Charles University was founded in 1348, making it one of the oldest universities in the world. Yet it is also renowned as a modern, dynamic, cosmopolitan and prestigious institution of higher education. It is the largest and most renowned Czech university, and is also the best-rated Czech university according to international rankings. There are currently 17 faculties at the University, plus 3 institutes, 6 other centres of teaching, research, development and other creative activities, a centre providing information services, 5 facilities serving the whole University, and the Rectorate - which is the executive management body for the whole University.</ms:organizationBio>

                        <ms:organizationBio xml:lang="en">'Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (ÚFAL) at the Computer Science School, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Czech Republic. The institute was established in 1990 as a continuation of the research and teaching activities carried out by the former Laboratory of Algebraic Linguistics since the early 60s at the Faculty of Philosophy and later at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University. The Institute is a primarily research department working on many topics in the area of Computational Linguistics, and on many research projects both nationally and internationally. However, the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics is also a regular department in the sense that it carries a comprehensive teaching program both for the Master''s degree (Mgr., or MSc.) as well as for a doctorate (Ph.D.) in Computational Linguistics. Both programs are taught in Czech and English. The Institute is also a member of the double- degree "Master''s LCT programme" of the EU. Students also can take advantage of the Erasmus program for typically semester-long stays at partner Universities abroad. '</ms:organizationBio>

                        <ms:organizationBio xml:lang="en">The Evaluations and Language Resources Distribution Agency (ELDA), was created in 1995 as the organizational infrastructure with the mission of  providing a central clearing house for Language Resources (LR) of the  European Language Resources Association (ELRA). ELDA was set up to  identify, classify, collect, validate and distribute the language resources that are  needed by the Human Language Technology (HLT) community. Anticipating the   evolutions in the HLT field, ELDA broadened its activities to cover  multimedia/multimodal resources as well as evaluation activities, distributing  the language resources needed for evaluation purposes, and conducting/coordinating evaluation campaigns. ELDA has played a significant role within the major Multimedia and Multimodal production projects that resulted in one of the most impressive catalogues of available data sets, embracing all aspects of Language Technologies. ELDA was also involved in evaluation initiatives, in several FPs’ projects involving HLT infrastructures, as well as in national programmes. In addition to work on data production, processing and annotation, validation and quality control, several of these projects also involved work on legal framework management for the produced resources. Moreover, ELDA has contributed to the development of open platforms and has joined forces with other European key players by bringing its assets (LR catalogue, evaluation services and benchmarking) to constitute Europe's backbone for Language Resources sharing and distribution. ELDA is also the initiator of the Language Resource and the Evaluation Conference (LREC), since 1998. With over 1200 participants, LREC is the major event on Language Resources (LRs) and Evaluation for Human Language Technologies (HLT).</ms:organizationBio>

3. Register the organization at ELG¶

The current release of ELG offers two options for registering a catalogue item:

the ELG interactive editor (see Use the interactive editor)
the upload of a metadata file that conforms to the ELG schema in XML format (see Create and upload metadata files).

4. Manage and submit for publication¶

Through the “My items” page you can access your metadata record (see Manage your items) and edit it until you are satisfied. You can then submit it for publication, in line with the publication lifecycle defined for ELG metadata records.

At this stage, the metadata record can no longer be edited and is only visible to you and to us, the ELG platform administrators.

Before it is published, your submission undergoes a validation process, which is described in detail at Validate a “metadata-only record”.

Once approved, it will appear on the ELG catalogue and you will receive a notification email.
