Digital Language Resources (DLRs) are structured digital collections and tools designed to support the development, research, and application of natural language processing (NLP) systems. They include corpora, annotated datasets, lexicons, language models, and software applications that facilitate linguistic analysis and machine understanding of human languages. DLRs are critical in advancing multilingual technologies, machine translation, speech recognition, and other areas of computational linguistics.
