Basic information

Properties
(P34)?Naming:	OLAC | Open Language Archives Community
(P1266)?Abbreviation:	OLAC
(P724)?Digest:	OLAC, the Open Language Archives Community, is an international partnership of institutions and individuals who are building a global virtual library of language resources by developing a consensus on best current practices for the digital archiving of language resources and building a network of interoperable repositories and services for housing and accessing such resources. Information about the resources will be stored in XML format to facilitate searching. OLAC was founded in 2000 and is hosted on the Linguistic Data Consortium web server at the University of Pennsylvania. OLAC advises on best practices in language archiving and promotes collaboration between language archives. The OLAC metadata set is based on the full set of Dublin Core Metadata Terms (DCMT), but the format allows the use of extensions to express community-specific qualifiers.
