Summary of Big Ideas regarding data sharing (storage, retrieval and search):
How do we define 'other standards'?
Standards vs. Best Practices
How do we encourage adoption of standards in linguistics?

Data sharing: the publication model (for more on this, see the white paper from Group 4)

Standards are great, now how do I use them?

How can I participate in the creation of ISO standards?

Issues addressed within the WG2 wiki pages:

• Unicode character encoding standards for increasing stable display, readability, and sharing of data
• Relational database storage
• Wiki-based sharing of research
  
• Metadata tags for increased transparency and usability of data
• Version control
• Web standards for sharing datasets
• Machine reusability of data (under construction)

1. A set of examples/case studies demonstrating applications of standards for storage, retrieval, and search and their utility for linguistic research.
2. A set of subfield-specific seed lists of common practices, requirements, conventions, etc. The purpose of creating these lists is twofold. First, the lists should be helpful to individual linguists working in the subfield in question. Second, they can serve as reference material to linguists from other areas who might wish to annotate beyond their individual research concern.
   
3. A seed list of existing standards for storage, retrieval, and search of linguistic data.
4. A handful of recommendations regarding not-yet-existent but needed standards for linguistics cyberinfrastructure.
5. Additional resources: relevant links, papers, etc.
