Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure

FIN-CLARIAH is a research infrastructure for Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) comprising two components, FIN-CLARIN and DARIAH-FI. In the current project, FIN-CLARIAH seeks to significantly broaden the scope of SSH infrastructural support into three major directions: first, to reach beyond processing of spoken standard Finnish into processing everyday speech; and second, to cater to a broad range of SSH research needs for processing unstructured text; and third, to facilitate research based on metadata. While FIN-CLARIN continues to break new ground in supporting research based on language data, DARIAH-FI will develop infrastructure for big, heterogeneous datasets for research in the humanities and social sciences. An important additional aim of the current project is for the two components to share and consolidate best common practices for the management and negotiation of deposition and access rights to data, tools and services as well as their hosting and documentation.
