In that, they point to Anthology PDFs instead of LREC-hosted ones?

I took a guess and looked in L18.xml. The contents of the (currently unused) <url> fields there indeed look wrong.

Exactly -- sorry I was so vague. It should be easy to fix, but I was in the middle of something else and just made this issue for later.

No need to apologize, tag-and-fill-later is a good MO. The issue is clear from a look at the XML.

It's the same with L10,L12,L14. However, the url of paper tag's attribute href is reachable.

What format does the LREC metadata come to us in? Do they use EasyChair?

Hi all: Sorry to not clarify earlier on the L??.xml format. From the legacy Anthology, we needed to distinguish URLs that the Anthology serves as well as the original URL for materials where the 3rd party sister organization gives us the rights to list their materials, but may not give us the right to host their content. <url/> = denotes the Anthology served address for the paper <paper href=""/>, (only used LREC) href denotes the location on the third party site for the canonical paper. <href/>, (only used in TACL) href denotes the location on the ACL affiliated site for the canonical paper. Probably we should just unify the use of <href/> and <paper href=""/> to the former. During my time, we had many fewer workers on the Anthology and had to marginalize attention to sister organizations in terms of priority on ingestions and corrections, and LREC was one of those conferences that was affected. ELRA recently changed their stance to allow the ACL Anthology to host their content as well, so now they join all of the other current sister organizations that give and indemnify ACL from listing and redistributing their proceedings. The copyright still belongs to the sister organization, so any requests for reprinting and repurposing must go to their executive committees. Anyways, to get the the point: LREC provides no official metadata to ACL, however Vladimir Popescu from ELRA compiled XML metadata for L18 and provided it to me, which I have forwarded to Matt. For L14 and earlier, I harvested the metadata directly from the crawl of the website. L16 is the gap left to address.
