Ron Cole and Mark Liberman put together two background documents for the workshop:

1. a statement of motivation and goals for the workshop
2. a language resources primer .

The workshop was divided into two parts:

• In the morning attendees reviewed language resource needs, summarized current language resource efforts and models, and examined two models (LDC and CSLU) in detail.
• In the afternoon, there were two sets of breakout groups: the first set considered what language resources are needed to advance human language technology, while the second set considered models for funding, developing, and distributing these resources.

Since the workshop, a subset of the attendees have been collaborating to produce a report that incorporates the findings and recommendations of the group.
