Dear Dieter and Lari,

Following Hyeon I would like to thank you alos for this work, important for us.

When looking more carefully to the files you have automatically generated out of the OLAC, some questions appears :

• Mulce appears to have no country nor continent. Where do you get this information out of ? In fact we do have such information in the head of our Olac file here (global information for the repository,not for every corpus) :

<olac-archive currentAsOf="2011-12-31" type="personal" xsi:schemaLocation=" ​http://www.language-archives.org/OLAC/1.1/olac-archive ​http://www.language-archives.org/OLAC/1.1/olac-archive.xsd"><archiveURL> ​http://mulce.org/</archiveURL><participant name="Thierry Chanier" role="Publications Manager" email="​thierry.chanier@univ-bpclermont.fr"/><participant name="Christophe Reffay" role="Curator" email="​christophe.reffay@univ-fcomte.fr"/><participant name="Marie-Laure Betbeder" role="Contributor" email="​marie-laure.betbeder@univ-fcomte.fr"/><participant name="Maud Ciekanski" role="Contributor" email="​mciekanski@univ-paris8.fr"/><participant name="Marie-Noelle Lamy" role="Contributor" email="​M.N.Lamy@open.ac.uk"/> <institution>Universite Blaise Pascal</institution><institutionURL> ​http://www.univ-bpclermont.fr/ </institutionURL><shortLocation>Clermont-Ferrand, France</shortLocation>

• If you were looking for this information for each corpus where do you expect to find it ? In which element ?

• as regards the "organisation" you seem to have copied the infiomation out of the field "creator : olac : compiler". Is this always the case ? If yes we will modify it beacause it is unreadable. In fact we use the VCARD format and the organisaiotn is attached to ORG: . But we can add another compiler element more readable.

I notice other problems with other corpara (not ours) with respects to the language information, a very important information (languages used in the corpora may be wrongly described because of an incorrect automatic extraction made by Clarin, altough the original metadata files were correct). But I will tell you another time, if you are interested.

Thank you in advance for your answers. Cordialement Thierry
