    • tools & services: services that run in the cloud, but also downloadable tools, source code, etc.,

    • corpora aka datasets: collections of text documents, audio transcripts, audio and video recordings, etc.,

    • models & computational grammars, collectively referred to as language descriptions 1,

    • lexical/conceptual resources, comprising computational lexica, gazetteers, ontologies, term lists, etc.

  • related activities and stakeholders from the wider area of language technology:

    • projects that have funded the development of LRTs or in which they have been deployed,
