Abstract
We describe on going community-efforts to create a Linked Open Data (sub-)cloud of linguistic resources, with an emphasis on resources that are specific to linguistic research, namely annotated corpora and linguistic databases. We argue that for both types of resources, the application of the Linked Open Data paradigm and the representation in RDF represents a promising approach to address interoperability problems, and to integrate information from different repositories. This is illustrated with example studies for different kinds of linguistic resources.The efforts described in this chapter are conducted in the context of the Open Linguistics Working Group (OWLG) of the Open Knowledge Foundation. The OWLG is a network of researchers interested in linguistic resources and/or their publication under open licenses, and a number of its members are engaged in the application of the Linked Open Data paradigm to their resources. Under the umbrella of the OWLG, these efforts will eventually emerge in the creation of a Linguistic Linked Open Data cloud (LLOD).
