Which (current) projects help to provide a
technological basis?
Note: includes
linguistic
enrichments and
data cleanup
• CLARIN
– create an infrastructure which makes language resources (annotated
recordings, texts, lexica, ontologies) and technology (speech recognizers,
lemmatizers, parsers, summarizers, information extractors) available and
readily usable to scholars of all disciplines, in particular the Humanities and
Social Sciences.
• Nederlab
– bring together all digitized texts relevant to our national heritage, the history
of Dutch language and culture (c. 800 - present) in one user-friendly and
tool-enriched open access web interface, allowing scholars to
simultaneously search and analyse data from texts spanning the full
recorded history of the Netherlands, its language and culture.
• Crowd sourcing projects
– unlock inaccessible data through cooperation with volunteers. • E.g. Sailing letters, Soundtol registers, KB newspaper archive, Meertens’ questionnaires
• CLARIAH
– Starts January 1st 2015
