This paper describes the automatic transformation of a Generative Lexicon (GL) based Ontology into OWL, the Semantic Web ontology language. Furthermore, the OWL ontology is automatically enriched by means of a bottom-up procedure that extracts additional semantic information (relationships, features, predicates and quantifier restrictions) from the lexicon. The contribution of this research is two-fold. On one hand, we introduce a methodology for the formalisation of GL ontologies. On the other, we have developed automatic procedures that bring out a formalised, reasoning-capable, and semantically rich ontology, thus suitable for Natural Language Processing semantic tasks.

Importance of standards as an essential aspect for any research infrastructure in the humanities. ISO Data category registry is designed within ISO TC37.

LMF applied to multilingual and specialized lexicons. Detailed description of the multilingual notation package of LMF. LMF is the ISO standard for NLP lexicons. LMF is designed within TC37.

The idea is to use the VLO for inquiring about the quantity of grey literature which can actually be found in CLARIN. A mapping between the terminological resources contained in the GreyNet International 1992-2017 website and in particular in the GreySource Index > Document Types in Grey Literature – and those retrievable from the VLO has been performed. This work will provide a map of the documentation archived in the CLARIN infrastructure, whose purpose is to share language resources produced and managed in the various European countries but finally merged into the CLARIN data centers for allowing access, interoperability, reuse and preservation of scientific documentation as well as Grey Literature.

Corpus-based approaches and statistical approaches have been the main stream of natural language processing research for the past two decades. Language resources play a key role in such approaches, but there is an insufficient amount of language resources in many Asian languages. In this situation, standardisation of language resources would be of great help in developing resources in new languages. This paper presents the latest development efforts of our project which aims at creating a common standard for Asian language resources that is compatible with an international standard. In particular, the paper focuses on i) lexical specification and data categories relevant for building multilingual lexical resources for Asian languages; ii) a core upper-layer ontology needed for ensuring multilingual interoperability and iii) the evaluation platform used to test the entire architectural framework.

The paper presents a journey, which starts from various social sciences and humanities (SSH) Research Infrastructures in Europe and arrives at the comprehensive "ecosystem of infrastructures", namely the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). We will highlight how the SSH Open Science infrastructures contribute to the goal of establishing the EOSC. First, through the example of OPERAS, the European Research Infrastructure for Open Scholarly Communication in the SSH, to see how its services are conceived to be part of the EOSC and to address the communities' needs. The next two sections highlight collaboration practices between partners in Europe to build the SSH component of the EOSC and a SSH discovery platform, as a service of OPERAS and the EOSC. The last two sections will focus on an implementation network dedicated to SSH data fairification., The conference proceedings have been previously published on the website of LREC (https://lrec2020.lrec-conf.org/media/proceedings/Workshops/Books/LR4SSHOCbook.pdf) as well as harvested and indexed via ACL Anthology (https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/volumes/2020.lr4sshoc-1/). Details about the "LR4SSHOC: LREC2020 workshop about Language Resources for the SSH Cloud" can be found here: https://www.clarin.eu/LR4SSHOC. ........ The paper was written as part of the TRIPLE project (https://www.gotriple.eu/), which is financed under the Horizon 2020 framework (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/863420) with approx. 5.6 million Euros for a duration of 42 months (2019-2023). At the heart of the project is the development of the TRIPLE platform, an innovative multilingual and multicultural discovery solution.

Language researchers are usually aware of intellectual property and personal data (PD) requirements. The problem, however, arises when these two legal regimes have conflicting requirements. For instance, when copyright law requires the acknowledgement of the author, but personal data law enshrines the data mini-misation principle. It is a practical question for a language researcher whether he should namethe author of the text used for, e.g., building a language model, or followthe data minimisation principle not to name the author. The access right that a data subject has introducessimilar conflicts. The question is what the scope of the access rightis. Does it cover only processed personal data,or does it extend to data derived from PD?

Twitter data is used in a wide variety of research disciplines in Social Sciences and Humanities. Although most Twitter data is publicly available, its re-use and sharing raise many legal questions related to intellectual property and personal data protection. Moreover, the use of Twitter and its content is subject to the Terms of Service, which also regulate re-use and sharing. This extended abstract provides a brief analysis of these issues and introduces the new Academic Research product track, which enables authorized researchers to access Twitter API on a preferential basis.

Sometimes legal scholars get relevant but baffling questions from laypersons like: "The reference to a work is personal data, so does the GDPR actually require me to anonymise it? Or, as my voice data is personal data, does the GDPR automatically give me access to a speech recognizer using my voice sample? Or, can I say anything about myself without the GDPR requiring the web host to anonymise or remove the post? What can I say about others like politicians? And, what can researchers say about patients in a research report?" Based on these questions, the authors address the interaction of intellectual property and data protection law in the context of data minimisation and attribution rights, access rights, trade secret protection, and freedom of expression.

Ancient Greek studies, and Classics in general, is a perfect field of investigation in Digital Humanities. Indeed, DH approaches could become a means of building models for complex realities, analyzing them with computational methods and sharing the results with a broader public. Ancient texts have a complex tradition, which includes many witnesses (texts that handed down other texts) and different typologies of supports (papyri, manuscripts, and epigraphs). These texts are the basis of all European Literatures and it is crucial to spread their knowledge, in a reliable and easy way. Our project on ancient Greek fragmentary poetry (DEA - Digital Edition of Archilochus: New models and tools for authoring, editing and indexing an ancient Greek fragmentary author), growing out of the existing experience, tries to define a TEI-based digital critical edition combined with NLP techniques and semantic web technologies. Our goal is to provide a complete and reliable tool for scholars, suitable for critical studies in Classics, and a user-friendly environment also for non-specialist users. The project represents one of the attempts within the context of CLARIN-IT to contribute to the wider impact of CLARIN on the specific Italian community interested in Digital Classics. It is intended to improve services in fostering new knowledge in SSH digital research and sustaining the existing one.

This paper aims at showing how integrating the Archive of the Italian Latinity of the Middle Ages (ALIM) into the ILC4CLARIN repository can provide mutual benefits. Making ALIM available to a large community of scholars and researchers, on the one side, represents the first step to reduce the lack of resources for Medieval Latin in CLARIN and, on the other side, constitutes an unprecedented contribution to not only linguistic investigations, but also to the studies of the culture and science at the basis of the Western European society. The paper describes the adopted approach aiming to keep intact the structure of the archive and its metadata, which are both accurately mirrored into the ILC4CLARIN repository in order to maintain existing access practices of the users. This structure can be found in exactly the same state within the CLARIN VLO. Finally, the paper illustrates the advantages of experimenting with some ALIM data, once introduced within the CLARIN Language Resource Switchboard service: first results are shown from the analysis of some texts with the UDPipe tool suite and the distant reading tool Voyant.
