* To launch a roadmap for Asian Language Resources
To achieve these goals, we call for the technical papers and the resource reports concerning, but not limited to the following issues.

For attributes of the resource description, refer to http://nlp.kuee.kyoto-u.ac.jp/LRCatalogue/. The workshop will be comprise of two parts, the presentation of technical papers, and an open discussion based on the resource reports aiming at introducing language resources of less computerised languages, and exchanging the experiences, resources and tools.
