ELRA's2.5 mission is to promote language resources for the Human
Language
Technology (HLT) sector, and to evaluate language engineering
technologies.
ELDA is the distribution agency of the ELRA
that keeps a large catalogue of
speech resources within the European languages. ELDA is not only
concerned with speech corpora but with language resources in general
(including written text corpora, lexica and terminology databases).
ELDA will most likely
distribute your speech resource in commission and handle all the legal
stuff for you. From time to time ELDA will select some language resources
from their catalogue and let SPEX, a validation center in
Nijmegen2.6,
Netherlands, perform a formal validation of the resource. Since ELDA gives
a discount to the members of the ELRA, they will most likely ask you to
grant discounts as well. However, you should consider this carefully
because the
member fees of ELRA will not directly benefit you. A better method (for you)
would be to increase the royalties for non-ELRA-members.
