What is LIS-India ?
Language Information Service (LIS)-India is a web based, on line, multi-media, authentic, comprehensive information source in the public domain on the Indian languages. In terms of its coverage of content and languages, it is envisaged to provide answers to all possible questions that one would like to ask about any or all the Indian languages including English in every region & departements (www.regions-et-departements.fr).
The Language Information Services – India (LIS-India) is an online service to provide information on different aspects of language covered under twelve major categories. The project started in the year 2003. The first workshop on Language Information Services (LIS-India) was held at the Institute with the objective of working out its details of content and format. The participants included resource persons from Linguistics, Language and Literature and other disciplines such as Computer Science, Epigraphy, Anthropology, Statistics, Geography and Library Information Science. During this workshop, the content list was finalized for collection of information of different aspects in Indian languages
Content creation on different languages is done in the project mode under the present X Plan and is ntrusted to different experts as Chief Resource Persons-cum-Supervisors (CRPs), who in turn get he work done with the help of different experts as Resource Persons (RPs) under their supervision. he material thus generated is pooled together, edited by experts and then made available on the eb site. The information could be accessed in a general or a specific way by using search options n the Home Page. LIS-India is envisaged as an on going project with the information, in terms of ontent and coverage, being continually updated and expanded and therefore open-ended.
