Convenor: Nancy Ide

The working group 1 (WG 1) within the ISO/TC 37/SC 4 deals with basic descriptors and mechanisms for language resources. The overall working area of WG1 is shared in three working items having specific goals and tasks. The first working item deals with the terminology standardization used in the various sub-fields of language resources and general methodology in linguistics. The second working item is dedicated to define basic mechanisms and build basic principles of data structures for linguistic annotation and representation. It develops methods and principles to design annotation schemes, specify data categories, define structural nodes and information units, and so on. The last working item focuses on description of meta-data representation scheme to document linguistic information structures and processes.

Specifications standardized by this body:
  1. Language resource management — Feature structures
  2. Language resource management — Linguistic annotation framework
  3. Language resource management — Persistent identification and sustainable access
  4. Component Metadata Infrastructure
