</p>
<p class="c6"><span>Content is growing at an impressive, exponential
rate. Exabytes of new data are created every single day. In
fact, data has been recently referred to as the “oil” of the new
economy, where the new economy is understood as “a new way of
organizing and managing economic activity based on the new
opportunities that the Internet provided for businesses” .</span></p>
<p class="c4"><span></span></p>
<p class="c6"><span>Content analytics, i.e. the ability to process
and generate insights from existing content, plays and will
continue to play a crucial role for enterprises and
organizations that seek to generate value from data, e.g. in
order to inform decision and policy making.</span></p>
<p class="c4"><span></span></p>
<p class="c6"><span>As corroborated by many analysts, substantial
investments in technology, partnerships and research are
required to reach an ecosystem consisting of many players and
technological solutions that provide the necessary
infrastructure, expertise and human resources required to make
sure that organizations can effectively deploy content analytics
solutions at large scale in order to generate relevant insights
that support policy and decision making, or even to define
completely new business models in a data-driven economy.</span></p>
<p class="c4"><span></span></p>
<p class="c6"><span>Assuming that such investments need to be and
will be made, this roadmap</span><span class="c1"> explores the
role that linked data and semantic technologies can and will
play in the field of content analytics and will generate a set
of recommendations </span><span>for organizations, funders and
researchers on which technologies to invest as a basis to
prioritize their investment in R&D as well as on optimizing
their mid- and long-term strategies and roadmaps.</span></p>

information</a></span><span class="c8"> is available. Please
spread this information widely. No knowledge about linguistic
linked data is required. We especially are interested in
feedback from potential users of linguistic linked data.</span></p>

<h2 class="c0"><span>About the LIDER Project</span></h2>
<p class="c6"><span>Website: </span><span class="c5"><a class="c3"
href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Flider-project.eu&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEWlMDjNIJY5NNCP6WYXpg5aa-dqQ">http://lider-project.eu</a></span></p>
<p class="c4"><span></span></p>
<p class="c6"><span>The project’s mission is to provide the basis
for the creation of a Linguistic Linked Data cloud that can
support content analytics tasks of unstructured multilingual
cross-media content. By achieving this goal, LIDER will impact
on the ease and efficiency with which Linguistic Linked Data
will be exploited in content analytics processes.</span></p>
<p class="c4"><span></span></p>
<p class="c6"><span>We aim at providing an ecosystem for the
establishment of a new Linked Open Data (LOD) based ecosystem of
free, interlinked, and semantically interoperable language
resources (corpora, dictionaries, lexical and syntactic
metadata, etc.) and media resources (image, video, etc.
metadata) that will allow for free and open exploitation of such
resources in multilingual, cross-media content analytics across
the EU and beyond, with specific use cases in industries related
to social media, financial services, localization, and other
multimedia content providers and consumers.</span></p>
<p class="c4"><span></span></p>
<h2 class="c0"><span>Take a personal interview to include your voice
into the roadmap</span></h2>
<p class="c6"><span>Contact: </span><span class="c5"><a class="c3"
href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Flider-project.eu%2F%3Fq%3Dcontent%2Fcontact-us&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFPbfXlcdR3PH5LKibs-3dshNz9bg">http://lider-project.eu/?q=content/contact-us</a></span></p>
<p class="c4"><span></span></p>
<p class="c6"><span>The EU project LIDER has been tasked by the
European Commission to put together a roadmap for future R&D
funding in multilingual industries such as content and knowledge
localization, multilingual terminology and taxonomy management,
cross-border business intelligence, etc. As a leading supplier
of solutions in one or more of these industries, we would need
your input for this roadmap. We would like to conduct a short
interview with you to establish your views on current and
developing R&D efforts in multilingual and semantic
technologies that will likely play an increasing role in these
industries, such as Linked Data and related standards for
web-based, multilingual data processing. The interview will
cover the below 5 questions and will not take more than 30
minutes. Please let us know on a suitable time and date.</span></p>
