On one hand it is true, but on the other hand, lots of machine readable texts are not freely available to wide range of researchers. Furthermore, to undertake real world text processing, we need to have not only data to be analysed but also tools and data to analyse the texts. We use the term ``natural language resources'' to refer to all the tools and the data that are necessary or useful for natural language processing. Various natural language resources are repeatedly built and abandoned in many researchers and research groups, resulting in a great loss to our community as a whole. Natural language resources are classified into at least the following types: 1. Natural Language Tools: o Part of speech taggers o Morphological analysers o Syntactic or semantic parsers o Information retrieval tools 2. Natural Language Data: o Dictionaries (monolingual, multi-lingual) o Thesauruses o Grammars o Corpora (monolingual, multi-lingual) o Semantic representation languages for NL o Knowledge representation languages for NL o Knowledge bases for NLP This workshop aims to bring together researchers and developers who contribute toward providing natural language resources that can be shared among researchers. Authors are invited to submit papers with clear specification, characteristics, aim and coverage of any natural language resources that are SHARABLE. The presentation are to be accompanied by a demonstration. Papers without demonstration will receive less priority of acceptance. NOTE: This workshop is not intended for commercial products. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Authors are invited to submit 4 copies of an extended abstract (4 pages or less on A4 or letter size papers).

One and half day of the workshop will be devoted to technical presentations and poster sessions, both of which will be accompanied by a demonstration. The last half day will be used for separated demonstration for each presented work.
