Scientific day – September, 5th, 2017
With the aim of presenting ERIC CLARIN, CORLI (Huma-Num) organized workshops on the 5th of September, 2017, in an effort to bring together members of the scientific community who are interested in corpora and language data related issues. Indeed ERIC CLARIN is a European structure whose objective is to federate European efforts made around language data, for all languages, for all fields. France having joined CLARIN in 2017 as an observer, it seems important today to present to the French community what participating in CLARIN can offer. Why, and how is it possible to get involved individually or collectively in CLARIN?
To answer these questions, the workshop was organized into three parts:
- A presentation from French organizations maintaining or planning to establish work ties with CLARIN (Human-Num, leader of the French participation, and the CLARIN centers Coccon, SLDR, and Ortolang).
- A presentation by four European researchers from countries members of ERIC CLARIN who came to present (in French) feedback of their experience and exemplified possible types of collaboration with this infrastructure:
- Francesca Frontini: Pisa, Italy (currently in Montpellier) – Presentation
- Bente Maegaard: Copenhagen, Denmark – Presentation
- Anje Muller Gjesdal : Bergen, Norway – Presentation
- Thomas Schmidt : Mannheim, Germany – Presentation
- A roundtable discussion with all guest-participants and members of the public concluded the day with a focus on how to get involved in CLARIN or how to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the infrastructure (e.g., in terms of identifying available language resources) – Summary
