This paper describes scientific; technical; and legal work done on the creation of the linguistic infrastructure for the Nordic and Baltic countries. The paper describes the research on assessment of language technology support for the languages of the Baltic and Nordic countries; work on establishing a language resource sharing infrastructure; and collection and description of linguistic resources. We present improvements necessary to ensure usability and interoperability of language resources; discuss issues related to intellectual property rights for complex resources; and describe extension of infrastructure through integration of language-resource specific repositories. Work on treebanks; wordnets; terminology resources; and finite-state technology is described in more detail. Finally; our approach on ensuring the sustainability of infrastructure is discussed.
