After having reviewed existing identification schemas, we conclude for the need to establish a specific identifier for LRs. Hence, we are introducing a new identifier scheme for Language Resources (LRs), namely, the International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN). It is meant to provide LRs with unique identifiers using a standardised nomenclature. This will ensure that LRs are correctly identified, and consequently, recognised with proper references for their usage in applications in R&D projects, products evaluation and benchmark as well as in documents and scientific papers. Moreover, it is a major step in the networked and shared world that Human Language Technologies (HLT) has become: unique resources must be identified as they are and meta-catalogues need a common identification format to manage data correctly. Therefore, LRs should carry identical identification schemes independently of their representations, whatever their types and wherever their physical locations (on hard drivers, Internet or Intranet) may be.
