Background

The so-called WeScience₀ project is a preparatory joint initiative with the [http://www.ub.uit.no/wiki/openaccess/index.php/NORA Norwegian Open Research Archives] (NORA) and the UiO [http://www.usit.uio.no/suf/ds/ Center for Information Technology] (USIT); the project is partially funded by NORA in 2009 and forms part of the larger [http://www.delph-in.net/wescience WeScience] initiative coordinated by the UiO [http://www.ifi.uio.no/research/groups/lns/lt.html Language Technology Group]. Some general motivation for the project and a preliminary project plan are available through the original [http://www.emmtee.net/nora/nora.20-apr-09.pdf project proposal]. Related initiatives include the [http://acl-arc.comp.nus.edu.sg/ ACL Anthology Reference Corpus], the [http://hylap.dfki.de/ HyLaP] project at DFKI Saarbrücken, and the UK [http://www.intute.ac.uk/irs Intute Repository Search].
