Why this workshop?
• Observations– NL and Speech processing require
collaboration, because of the complexity of the tasks and the crossing of language boundaries
– Free floating collaboration is possible, but is often facilitated by infrastructures that help people in teaming up

What doe we mean by infrastructures?
• Every organised action with some continuity aiming at bringing people working in the same field together
• Different types, different possibilities:– open/closed (only for specific political,
thematic or linguistic communities)– top-down/bottom-up– funding/supporting/co-ordinating

Should we create new infrastructures?
• Not our starting point!• Let us:
– make (and publish) a structured map of existing infrastructures
– investigate whether we can exploit them better (stretching them, linking them up)
– analyse whether additional infrastructures would be needed, and if so, how they could be implemented

Our goals today
• Start creating a map of infrastructures (with special focus on Asia)
• Identify possible hooks for collaboration and synergies
• Make an initial analysis of the infrastructure situation
• Ensure that this is the start of an ongoing discussion in which the whole community can participate
