Abstracts and details about an additional poster session will be provided in a subsequent announcement. The program will also feature an LD4LT event on May 8-9 http://www.multilingualweb.eu/documents/2014-madrid-workshop/ld4lt-rm-workshop This will focus on text analytics and the usefulness of Wikipedia and Dbpedia for multiilngual text and content analytics, and on language resources and aspects of converting selected types of language resources into RDF. See the Call for Participation http://www.multilingualweb.eu/documents/2014-madrid-workshop/2014-madrid-cfp#participate for details about how to register for the MultilingualWeb workshop. The LD4LT event requires a separate registration https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/1/lider-rmws-20140508-09 If you haven't registered yet, note that space is limited, so please be sure to register soon to ensure that you get a place. The MultilingualWeb workshops, funded by the European Commission and coordinated by the W3C, look at best practices and standards related to all aspects of creating, localizing and deploying the multilingual Web. The workshops are successful because they attract a wide range of participants, from fields such as localization, language technology, browser development, content authoring and tool development, etc., to create a holistic view of the interoperability needs of the multilingual Web. We look forward to seeing you in Madrid! On behalf of the organizers, Felix Sasaki
