Hi Martin,
I've been invited to a "focus group" to discuss possible need for
a national research data service/repository UKRDS, see
http://www.ukrds.ac.uk/index.htm
Do you know about UKRDS? I'm curious to find out
whether they might offer anything for corpus linguistics
whcih isnt already available nationally (eg Oxford Text Archive)
or internationally (eg LDC, ELDA) - they seem to have big budget plans
and have already appointed SERCO Consultants for the Project.
Maybe at the focus group i could suggest that the money would be better
spent on supporting successful existing repositories like OTA?...
