Abstract |
In this paper I present the CLARIN-NL project, the Dutch national project thataims to play a central role in the European CLARIN infrastructure, not only forthe preparatory phase, but also for the implementation and exploitation phases.I argue that the way the CLARIN-NL project has been set-up can serve as anexcellent example for other national CLARIN projects, for the followingreasons: (1) it is a mix between a programme and a project; (2) it offersopportunities to seriously test standards and protocols currently proposed byCLARIN, thus providing evidence-based requirements and desiderata for theCLARIN infrastructure and ensuring compatibility of CLARIN with national dataand tools; (3) it brings the intended users (humanities researchers) and thetechnology providers (infrastructure specialists and language and speechtechnology researchers) together in concrete cooperation projects, with acentral role for the users research questions,, thus ensuring that theinfrastructure will provide functionality that is needed by its intended users. |
