+====== Working Group 4: Quantifying and promoting diversity ======
+This WG is transversal to WGs 1-3 and will focus on how the Action serves inter- and intra-linguistic
+diversity. Its activities will overlap with the 3 other WGs in:
+  - Networking for diversity:
+     * bringing together pre-existing groups dedicated to NLP-applicable universality,
+     * integrating experts of (notably low-resourced) languages not yet covered by these groups,
+     * integrating experts in linguistic typology;
+  - Quantifying diversity:
+     * designing measures of inter- and intra-linguistic diversity in language resources and tools,
+     * using these measures to quantify diversity in UD and PARSEME corpora;
+  - Promoting diversity:
+     * procedures for better use of the existing resources, based on their estimated diversity,
+     * selecting new data to be annotated, so as to favour intra-linguistic diversity,
+     * designing evaluation scenarios which favour tools performing well on rare and diverse phenomena and low resourced languages,
+     * integrating and training new experts dedicated to low-resourced and endangered languages,
+     * validating the unified annotation guidelines (WG1) and lexicon formats (WG2) against newly included languages and defining new language-specific categories and extensions, if needed,
+     * coordinating of the creation and enhancement of annotated corpora and lexica for low-resourced languages,
+     * discovering and analysing rare linguistic phenomena, and describing them in resources and tools,
+     * coordination of the development of NLP tools (WG3) for low-resourced and endangered languages.
