A paper introducing our Concepticon will be presented at. For more details, see below. Concept List and Concept Sets. In one or a few widespread languages, either major scientific languages (like English, Russian, or Spanish) or major languages from the region in which the data is collected (i.e. Hausa for the Chadic list from Kraft (1981). Furthermore, most concept lists have some kind of. World Loanword Database, WOLD. Most importantly, every concept in every concept list is linked to a concept set.

Jeremy Collins. org. Workshop on linguistic databases. This week in Nijmegen there was a workshop. On cross-linguistic databases, organized by Harald Hammarström and Guillaume Ségerer. Here are some random highlights and thoughts. One important application is in testing hypotheses about language history. There were talks on RefLex. For reconstructing lexicons of languages in Africa; SAILS. Paul Heggarty presented his database. The format in CLLD.

Glottolog is collaborative work. Harald Hammarström collected many individuals' bibliographies and compiled them into a master bibliography. Harald also collected extensive information about the proved genealogical relations of the languages of the world. His top-level classification is merged with low-level (i.e. dialect level) information from multitree. Robert Forkel programmed the second version of the web application as part of the Cross Linguistic Linked Data.

Jeremy Collins. org. Workshop in Jena on Austronesian linguistics, archeology and genetics. Here is my brief and perhaps slightly garbled summary of the talks. Michiko Intoh talked about Fais island, a raised coral island (pictured) where arrivals of people several hundred years apart were documented by objects they left behind (such as in evolving styles of fish hook and pottery), engagingly illustrated by a slide showing overlapping layers of different remains in one site. These talks ranged from quest...

GitHub, FigShare and Mozilla ScienceLab introduced the minting of DOIs for software. It’s worth to mention that. Is part of the game with less marketing rumble. Probably the latest blog post from Arfon Smith (GitHub) will boost the number of software publications so that software may become more citable, thus may become part of the scientific tradition and may address open.

However, the development of software accounts for an increasingly prominent space in research, especially in natural sciences software has become an indispensable commodity.
