Towards a comprehensive open repository of Polish language resources

The aim of this paper is to present current efforts towards the creation of a comprehensive open repository of Polish language resources and tools (LRTs). The work described here is carried out within the CESAR project, member of the META-NET consortium. It has already resulted in the creation of the Computational Linguistics in Poland website containing an exhaustive collection of Polish LRTs. Current work is focused on the creation of new LRTs and, esp., the enhancement of existing LRTs, such as parallel corpora, annotated corpora of written and spoken Polish and morphological dictionaries to be made available via the META-SHARE repository. Efforts are made to ensure a high level of reusability of the LTRs by adhering to widely accepted annotation and interoperability standards. Last but not least, since the great majority of the Polish CESAR resources are released under open licenses, special work is required to clarify their Intellectual Property Rights status.
