The
Institute of Language and Speech Processing (ILSP) of
"Athena" Research Center has played a key role in the design and implementation of the ELG platform. ILSP researchers, from the Natural Language Processing and Language Infrastructures department, who were involved in the development of the ELG platform, are providing extensive accounts on the basic concepts and underlying architecture, the European Language Grid functionalities for providers and consumers, as well as the metadata bridges between ELG and the wider Language Technology ecosystem. Further on, they are providing high-level descriptions of the language processing services and datasets available through ELG, as well as the plans for the future of ELG.
