E-MELD ('''E'''lectronic '''M'''etastructure for '''E'''ndangered '''L'''anguages '''D'''ata) was a 5-year (2001-2006) project with a dual objective:<br />
<br />
1) to aid in the preservation of endangered languages data and documentation<br />
<br />
2) to aid in the development of the infrastructure necessary for effective collaboration among electrnic archives.<br />
