 Project title  Organic.Lingua: Demonstrating the potential of a multilingual Web portal for Sustainable Agricultural & Environmental Education  Funded by the CIP ICT PSP  Theme 6: Multilingual Web  Objective 6.2: Multilingual Online Services  Duration 36 months  1/3/ /2/2014  Overall budget: euros  Community funding: euros (50%)  Project website:

Enhance the existing Organic.Edunet Web portal by introducing automated multilingual services that will further support the uptake of the portal by its targeted audiences, facilitate the multilingual features of the portal, and further extend its geographical and linguistic coverage.

 Organic.Edunet ( not fully exploiting language technologies  Translation error prone and time consuming  Opportunities to enhance the quality and efficiency of cross-language search functions

 Existing solution not using linguistic resources and tools  Cross-lingual search not enabled  Fragmentation of resource descriptions in several languages  Organic.Edunet to be transformed into a truly multilingual service

Organic.Edunet in figures  More than 11,000 resources, from 11 institutional collections and 2 user communities  Over 2,400 registered users  More than 100 unique visitors/day from more than 160 countries  Many different approaches to find resources

 User interface:17 languages  Contents in 8 languages  Ontology: almost 20 languages  1000 resources metadata in 9 languages

 Advance in the identification of user needs regarding linguistic support in on-line information services  Identify and explore new or anticipated user interface, functional and technical requirements related to linguistic technologies Enhance the approach to linguistic support and coverage of the existing Organic.Edunet infrastructure.

 Devise and validate innovative and effective methods, processes and workflows for linguistic support in Organic.Edunet  Enhance, extend and re-engineer the existing Organic.Edunet Web portal towards a wider and cost-effective multilingual support ◦ broaden the current audience and impact of the service.

 Deploy large pilots trials that demonstrate a cost- effective approach for delivering language technologies in existing Web portals based on open standards and open source software,  Develop good practice guides and awareness on the practical application of language technologies,

“Boost the usage, exploitation and extension of knowledge on Organic Agriculture and Agroecology by using new/ innovative ways to facilitate searching and to minimize the segmentation of knowledge due to lingual barriers through the introduction of automated multilingual services, supported by a quality-controlled collaborative and interactive approach while developing a sustainable, low-cost and re-usable solution to the problem of multilinguality across Europe and the whole globe.” Boost knowledge on Organic Agriculture and Agroecology Minimize the segmentation of knowledge Introduce automated multilingual services Sustainable, low-cost and re-usable solution
