CLARIN-CH Trainings 2025: Introductory Session
March 10 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
This introductory session of our CLARIN-CH Training Sessions 2025 will provide an overview of the CLARIN-CH ecosystem of infrastructures, highlighting their role in supporting research involving language resources and language technology. Participants will gain insights into the various infrastructures available within CLARIN-CH and how they facilitate Open Research Data (ORD) practices in language research. Each of the infrastructures will be further addressed, both from a theoretical and a hands-on perspective, in dedicated sessions during March-June 2025.
The Zoom link will be sent to participants upon registration: Sign up for the training sessions
Topics covered in the introductory session:
1. What is CLARIN-CH?
2. The Importance of ORD and FAIR in Language Research
- Open Science, Open Research Data (ORD) and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data
- How ORD and FAIR practices enhance reproducibility, trust, collaboration and data sharing (e.g. linking your research data to your scientific paper)
- Hands-on: analysis of case studies
3. Overview of the CLARIN-CH ecosystem of infrastructures
- The LiRI Corpus Platform
- The swissdox@LiRI media database
- ZHAW Swiss-AL
- Language Repository of Switzerland (LaRS) and the SWISSUbase repository
- The CLARIN-CH Documentation Platform
- Introduction to key ORD projects, such as UpLORD and FAIR-FI-LD, and their main outcomes:
– Metadata interoperability and harvesting by CLARIN Virtual Language Observatory
– Curation workflow by LaRS team
– Standard data formats
– CLARIN Federated Content Search technology
– Videoscope @ USI
4. Challenges and solutions of ORD and FAIR for Language Data
- Handling sensitive and complex linguistic data, including ethical and legal considerations
- Big volume of data
- Lack of training and time for appropriate data management and data curation
- Encouraging researchers and institutions to engage with CLARIN-CH
Who should attend?
This session is designed for researchers using language data, irrespective of scientific discipline, sub-field of linguistics or approach, as well as data stewards, who want to learn more about the CLARIN-CH research data ecosystem and its tools.
By the end of the session, participants will have a clearer understanding of how to navigate the CLARIN-CH infrastructures, apply ORD principles effectively, and address challenges in language data management. This will make your life much easier when publishing your data and when write your DMP.
