To	prevent	its	loss,	the	Archive	is	copied	to	various	locations	including	a	growing	number	of	regional	archives,	preserving	relations,	contexts	and	provenance	information.To	take	care	of	the	interpretability	of	data	in	the	long	run,	adherence	to	standards	and	a	continuous	curation		procedure	are	very	important.	Access	to	the	data	in	the	spirit	of	the	Live Archives	idea	and	regulated	by	a	code	of	conduct	and	other	agreements	is	guaranteed	to	those	who	have	access	permissions	to	the	individual	resources	which	are	defined	in	four	levels	(fully	open	to	closed)	by	the	depositors.	Besides	the	fieldwork	data	of	about	60	DOBES	projects,	TLA	continues	to	digitize	and	archive	an	increasing	amount	of	other	language	related	data.	Currently	there	are	data	on	more	than	200	languages	in	the	archive.ArchiveTechnologyThe	LAT	software	suite,	started	in	2000	with	the	multi-media	annotation	tool	ELAN	and	the	IMDI	metadata	infrastructure,	covers	about	15	components	and	tools.		It	is	continuously	being	debugged,	adapted	and	extended.It	includes	tools	for	Resource	Creation	&	Organization		(ELAN,	LEXUS,	IMDI/CMDI,	ARBIL,	AV	Recognizers),	tools	for	Management,	Upload	&	Infrastructure	(LAMUS,	IMDI/CMDI,	AMS,	COSIX,	HANDLE,	REPLIX),	and	tools	for	basic	and	complex	resource	access	(IMDI/CMDI,	VLO,	ANNEX,	IMEX,	LEXUS,	GIS,	TROVA,	VICOS).2	Computer	Centers	in	Munich	(one	from	MPG)2	Computer	Centers	in	Göttingen	(one	from	MPG)2	Copies		MPI	NijmegenActivitiesTLA	is	involved	in	a	number	of	initiatives	devoted	to	the	archiving	of	digital	language	data,	to	the	improvement	of	technologies	to	create,	manage	and	access	language	data,	and	to	the	construction	of	infrastructures	that	facilitate	cross-institutional	and	cross-corpora	access.	The	resulting	infrastructures	will	allow	researchers	to	build	virtual	collections	and	workflows	to	improve	data	access	in	the	direction	of	eHumanities	usage	scenarios.		TLA	also	contributes	to	standardization	in	ISO	TC37/SC4		(www.tc37sc4.org)	which	aims	at	facilitating		interoperability	in	the	language	resources	domain.Past	Projects:	MUMIS,	INTERA,	ISLE,	LIRICS,	DAM-LR		(all	EC),	CGN	(NWO),	HARVE,	INTER,	ROR	(all	MPG),	REPLIX,	(DEISA,	CLARIN-EU).
