Abstract
In recent years, the Internet evolved from a global medium for information exchange (directed mainly towards human users) into a
”global, virtual work environment” (for both human users and machines). Building on the world-wide-web, developments such as grid
technology, web services and the semantic web contributed to this transformation, the implications of which are now slowly but clearly
being integrated into all areas of the new digital society (e-business, e-government, e-science, etc.) In this conctext the semantic web
allows for increasingly intelligent and therefore autonomous processing. This development brings new challenges for Human Language
Technology (HLT), which require not only some adaptation of processes within the state of the art processing chain of HLT, but also
changes at the infrastructure level of HLT resources.
