+Title: Semantic Mapping (Component) for Language Resources
+
+\subsection{Main Goal}
+Propose a semantic mapping component for Language Resources and Technology within the context of a federated infrastructure (being constructed in the project CLARIN).
+Due to the great diversity of resources and research tasks a full alignement is not achievable. Rather the focus shall be on "soft", dynamic mapping, investigating the possibilities/methods to enable the users to control the mapping with respect to their current task,
+essentially being able to actively manipulate the recall/precision ratio of their searches. This entails the examination of user interaction with and visualization of the relevant information in the user interface and enabling the user to act upon it.
+
+
+\subsection{Method}
+We start with examining the existing Data and describing the evolving Infrastructure. 
+Then we formulate the task/function of Semantic Mapping and the requirements within the defined context, 
+followed by a design proposal for an appropriate component fitting within the infrastructure.
+In a prototype we want to deliver a proof of the concept,
+combined with an evaluation to verify the claims of fitness for the purpose.
+This evaluation is twofold. It shall verify the ability of the system to support dynamic mapping based on a set of test queries
+and secondly the usability of the ui-controls.

+\section{Context}
+
+\subsection{Language Resources and Technology}
+
+While in the Digital Libraries community a consolidation generally already happened and big federated networks of digital libary repository are set up, in the field of Language Resource and Technology the landscape is still scattered, although meanwhile looking back at a decade of standardizing efforts. One main reason seems to be the complexity and diversity of the metadata associated with the resources, stemming for one from the wide range of resource types additionally complicated by dependence of different schools of thought.
+
+Need some number about the disparity in the field, number of institutes, resources, formats.
+
+This situation has been identified by the community and multiple standardization initiatives had been conducted. This process seems to have gained a new momentum thanks to large Research Infrastructure Programmes introduced by European Commission, aimed at fostering Research communities developing large-scale pan-european common infrastructures. One key player in this development is the project CLARIN
+
+\subsection{CLARIN}
+
+CLARIN - Common Language Resource and Technology Infrastructure - constituted by over 180 members from round 38 countries. The mission of this project is
+
+    create a research infrastructure that makes language resources and technologies (LRT) available to scholars of all disciplines, especially SSH large-scale pan-European collaborative effort to create, coordinate and make language resources and technology available and readily useable
+
+This shall be accomplished by setting up a federated network of centers (with federated identity management) but mainly providing resources and services in an agreed upon / coherent / uniform / consistent /standardized manner. The foundation for this goal shall be the Common or Component Metadata infrastructure, a model that caters for flexible metadata profiles, allowing to accomodate existing schemas.
+
+The embedment in the CLARIN project brings about the context of Language Resources and HLT (Human Language Technology, aka NLP - Natural Language Processing) and SSH (Social Sciences and Humanities) as the primary target user-group of CLARIN.

+
+
+Semi-transparently means, that primarily the semantic mapping shall integrate seamlessly in the interaction with the service, but it shall "explain" - offer enough information - on demand, for the user to understand its role and also being able manipulate easily.
