LS 2024/25: In this course, we look at open-data and open-science for language knowledge through the lens of sustainability. 1. Reducing duplication of effort in data collection and processing. By sharing linguistic data openly, researchers can avoid re-collecting or re-annotating data that already exists, saving time, resources, and money (e.g., the Open Multilingual Wordnet (OMW) reduces the need to independently develop lexical databases for each language. 2. Reusing data for new purposes. Open data allows researchers to use existing linguistic datasets for projects beyond their original scope, enabling interdisciplinary research and innovative applications (e.g., Open archives like ELAR (Endangered Languages Archive) provide access to recordings, transcriptions, and annotations, which linguists and community members can reuse for revitalization projects or language-learning apps. 3. Recycling data for new audiences and uses: adapting old datasets for new contexts, refining their quality, or integrating them into new systems. Old print dictionaries are often digitized, linked with lexical databases like Wordnet, and augmented with additional information (e.g., sound files, example sentences).
