| WS2 | TAUS Data Association Round Table Synopsis: TAUS Data Association (TDA) is a nonprofit member-driven organization aimed at the sharing of language data. The organization was founded in June 2008 by 47 organizations that funded the development of the TM sharing, data pooling and language search services on the web-based platform. TDA is set up to host billions of words in many language pairs and from all public and industry domains. Membership is open to every stakeholder . from large institutional and commercial buyers to all providers of services and technologies and individual translators and universities. The language search service is open and available to the general public. The benefits of the TDA platform depend on the type of usage and user. Buyers of translation will look at TDA as a way to improve the translation technology, train and customize MT systems, and translate more content in more languages. Providers of services will look at TDA as a way to increase productivity, innovate their business and streamline terminology. TDA works closely with service and technology providers to ensure a seamless integration of the platform with existing offerings of tools and services. In this half-day workshop Jaap van der Meer will present TDA, demonstrate release 1 of the TDA platform, discuss the use scenarios, the impacts on the industry and service innovation. |
