EUROLAN 2001
Summer School on
"Creation and Exploitation of Annotated Language Resources"
5th in the series of Eurolan Schools
30 July - 11 August 2001
Iasi, Romania
Once upon a time, there was a series of summer schools and its name was
Eurolan. It would happen in the far away land of Romania, during its long
hot summer days. And among the schools of this series, the most famous of
all was Eurolan 2001. Never before had the ancient city of Iasi seen such a
gathering of kings and queens, of princes and princesses with only one thing
in mind: to talk about the state-of-the art in the theory, methodology, and
technology for creating and using annotated language resources for language
engineering.
For two long weeks, they kept talking and talking. Princesses and princes
from all over the world came to meet the wise invited queens and kings and
learn from their wisdom. The kings would speak during mornings while in the
afternoons they would help princes to put into practice their teachings.
And, as if all these hadn't been enough, more meetings were organized for
the young princes (workshops on Multi-layer Corpus Based Analysis:
http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~ide/Eurolan01-ws.html and on Modular Programming
Applied to Natural Language Processing:
http://www.wlv.ac.uk/sles/compling/news/workshop.html) and for all the
people in Iasi at that time (round tables on Linguistic Data Consortia and
on Industrial Applications in Response to Market Requirements).
What happened during those days can be briefly presented as follows:

Farewell Evening
All these chats and exciting quarrels happened in the large bright palaces
of the "Al. I. Cuza" University, in the very heart of the organisers' realm.
A huge fortress was chosen as dwelling place for most of the guests (student
hostel - double room: 10 USD/night or single room: 18 USD/night), who could
rest for few hours in its welcoming rooms. Other guests preferred special
lodging in a castle in the city (hotel ** - double room: 16 USD/night or
single room: 22 USD/night).
And tables were set for all those who came to Iasi and there was plenty of
food and drinks (for 10-15 USD per day) and parties and marry people. And,
as good hosts usually do, the Eurolan organizers arranged a trip through
their land and showed their guests the marvels of northern Romania (Bucovina
Monasteries - UNESCO Cultural Heritage).
At the end of the school everybody returned to their realms where they lived
happily ever after.

Entitled "Copyright & Primary Source Materials," this four-hour meeting
will bring together national experts in the field and local practitioners
working in museums, libraries and archives to examine the copyright policy
issues and practical copyright-related problems of mounting primary source
materials online.
THEMES
* What are the current intellectual property issues inhibiting the
networking of primary documents of cultural heritage online?
* What is the current law and what are the key legislative developments
affecting our work in this area?
* What are current practical solutions to current copyright problems?
* How are things changing and what new pro-active strategies do we need to
adopt in order to achieve the future?
SPEAKERS
The above themes will be the subjects of two keynote addresses by national
experts in the field: Professor Peter Jaszi (Washington College of Law,
American University) and Bernard Reilly (Head of Research and Access,
Chicago Historical Society).
After questions and comments on the issues addressed by the two main
speakers, participants will hear reports from the field in a panel comprising:
* Tom Folsom, Legal Counsel, Denver Museum of Nature and Science
* Jim Williams, Dean of Libraries, University of Colorado at Boulder
* Kevin Anderson, archivist and historian, Casper College, Wyoming
A hallmark of the NINCH Copyright Town Meetings is the time allotted to the
discussion among participants of both specific problems and broad issues.
CONFERENCE
The Denver Copyright Town Meeting serves as the pre-conference for
"Cultural Heritage Collaboration in the Digital Age: A Conference for
Library and Museum Leaders," designed to introduce key archive, historical
society, museum and library leaders in 23 Western states to the issues
associated with developing a statewide or regionally based collaborative
digitization initiative.
