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.

The LiRI Corpus Platform (LCP) was developed to host and query large data sets of annotated texts and multimedia content. LCP can accomodate a broad variety of corpora; in the context of Open Research Data, users are encouraged to import and share their data with LCP. In this session, participants will get familiar with LCP by looking at existing corpora: how their annotations are represented and how they can be queried.

Learn how to navigate Swissdox@LiRI, a media database with over 24 million Swiss media articles. This session covers search functions, query strategies, and basic data analysis in Python. Participants will have access to sample data (German/French) if they are not affiliated with a supporter institution.

This session presents the process of importing a multimodal conversation corpus into LCP within the FAIR FI-LD project, highlighting the use of TEI/ISO as the chosen interoperable format. Participants will work hands-on with a Python script for corpus import and discuss workflows for curating and automating multimodal data annotation.

Join the first session of the new webinar series Making Open Research Data Suitable for Comparative Discourse Analysis. This event will explore how open resources like CLARIN can support multilingual, comparative discourse research across Europe.

Get to know the Swiss-AL Workbench developed by the Digital Discourse Lab (ZHAW) and learn how to use it for your own data-driven research in language and discourse analysis based on hands-on use cases.
