Abstract
In the fragmented Language Technology (LT) landscape of multilingual Europe, ELG has set out to bring together language resources and technologies (LRTs) and boost the LT sector and its activities. The primary goal is to build a scalable and comprehensive cloud platform for providers, developers, integrators and consumers of language resources and technologies. We describe the basic concepts of the ELG platform in terms of its architecture, the functionalities and services offered to its types of users and the policies it implements. We present the ELG repository, its catalogue features, the LT services execution environment as well as the metadata model underlying the platform operations and the resources life cycle, from creation to publication. We also discuss the compliance of ELG with the FAIR principles and the relation to other platforms and infrastructure initiatives which have inspired certain aspects and with which ELG has been establishing strong links.
