Keynote for the 2017 Symposium on Developing Infrastructure for Computational Resources on South Asian Languages. This keynote presentation explores the strategies of separation of concerns and automation of services in developing an infrastructure for interoperation that can break serious bottlenecks in scaling up the submission of new materials and the use of already archived materials.
