6 Conclusions
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Researchers in human language share assumptions and needs within and across research communities. Each group feels an acute need for language resources including data, annotations, formats and processes. This paper has summarized some common needs and described an architecture for encoding annotations and delivering them via annotation servers using SQL or a custom query language.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Much of the architecture discussed has already been created and is available in the Annotation Graphic Toolkit. Other components, especially the query language, are currently under development. It is hoped that tools based on annotations graphs and annotation servers will encourage greater levels of resource sharing and the coordination of future resource development.</Paragraph>
