From Open Access toOpen Research Data

Advantages & Obstacles forOpen Research Data

Advantages of Open Research Data• Increasing the efficiency of research.

• Promoting scholarly rigour and enhancements to the quality of research.

• Enhancing visibility and scope for engagement.

• Enabling researchers to ask new research questions.

• Enhancing collaboration and community-building.

• Increasing the economic and social impact of research.

Obstacles for researchers• Lack of evidence of benefits and rewards.

• Lack of skills, time and other resources.

• Cultures of independence and competition.

• Concerns about quality. ¿Peer reviewed of data? Fear of data misread or misapplied (methodological or without key contextual information).

• Ethical, legal and other restrictions on accessibility (anonymization, Licenses…)

Infrastructures for LanguageProcessing Technologies

• Language resources (corpora, lexical, linguistic data, audio)• Linguistic tools (concordance, clusters, keywords…)

http://linguistlist.org/sp/GetWRListings.cfm?wrtypeid=2• Not only for translations nor only for linguists• Text and data mining (TDM)

• Sentiment analysis (extracted from social media)• Script analysis (extracted from tv or cinema scripts)• Discourse analysis (extracted from all types of discourses)
