LREC Workshop: Leveraging Derived Text Formats to Unlock Copyrighted
Collections for Open Science
Palma de Mallorca
2nd Call for Papers
The workshop Leveraging Derived Text Formats to Unlock Copyrighted
Collections for Open Science will be held at the Language Resources and
Evaluation Conference (LREC 2026).
Derived Text Formats (DTF), also known as extracted features, offer a
promising solution for enabling research on textual data that cannot be
shared in its original form due to copyright or privacy restrictions.
This workshop brings together researchers, legal experts, and
infrastructure providers to explore the creation, standardization, legal
framing, and scientific use of derived data in linguistics, digital
humanities, and language technology.
We invite contributions from the community that address practical
experiences, challenges, and solutions related to:
* The creation and processing of DTF
* Legal and ethical considerations in publishing derived data
* Use cases from digital humanities, linguistic research, corpus
linguistics, or NLP
* Infrastructure and tools supporting DTF flows
* Standardization efforts (e.g., TEI, SynAF, MAF, ISO standards)
The workshop will be held as a hybrid event. The exact workshop date
will be communicated in due time.
Submission Format
Submissions should be 4 to 8 pages in length (excluding references and
potential Ethics Statements). Submissions should follow the LREC
stylesheet, available on the conference website on theAuthor’s kit page
<https://lrec2026.info/authors-kit/> at

When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to
provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e.
also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used
for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your
research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the
described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.) to enable their reuse and
replicability of experiments (including evaluation ones)
