I am interested in obtaining data from the LDC. Please explain the difference in data access for LDC members versus non-members. Specifically, identify how a non-member would obtain a dataset and what the general licensing terms are for non-members, including any associated costs or agreements.
Navigate to 'https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu'. Click on the 'Data' link under 'Language Resources'. Click on the 'Obtaining Data' link. Identify the sections that differentiate between member and non-member access. Locate information on how non-members can obtain data. Find details about the general licensing terms or user agreements for non-members, including any mention of costs or required agreements. Synthesize the information to explain the differences in access and the process for non-members.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Obtaining Data' page. The agent clearly explains that LDC members receive data as part of their membership, while non-members must purchase individual licenses. The agent states that non-members can purchase data via the LDC website by adding items to a shopping cart. The agent mentions that non-members must agree to the LDC User Agreement for Non-Members. The agent notes that non-member prices are typically higher than member prices (or that members receive data at no additional cost beyond membership fees).
