We invite you to participate in a series of training sessions designed to introduce and deepen your knowledge of the CLARIN-CH ecosystem and its resources for language data research. Covering topics such as corpus querying, media data collection, multimodal data modeling, and data sharing, these sessions will provide hands-on insights into key tools and methodologies.
The sessions run from March to June 2025, featuring expert speakers from the CLARIN-CH network. Whether you are new to these tools or looking to refine your skills, we welcome you to join us!
Sessions are held every second Monday, from 15:30 to 17:00, online (via Zoom). For detailed information, please refer to the CLARIN-CH news page.
UpLORD is a swissuniversities ORD-funded 2-year project (2023-2024) hosted by the University of Zurich, with the support of the Zurich University Library and the CLARIN-CH Consortium. Since 2018, a consortium of partners has been working on building a national ecosystem of infrastructures, which covers the whole linguistic data lifecycle according to ORD requirements (FAIR principles: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) from data generating, processing and analyzing to data sharing and archiving. This ecosystem includes the national technology platform LiRI and the national repository for publishing and archiving linguistic data (SWISSUbase) as service providers, a database of Swiss media texts and a platform for hosting of and searching in large text and audio/video corpora.
The project focuses on upgrading workflows and interoperability of existing infrastructure services, establishing working groups on the national level, documenting and promoting best practices, raising awareness and training about ORD practices in the context of teaching, research and publishing, and building a robust practice of data curation. In the long-term, this project will significantly contribute to a strong foundation for a sustainable ORD strategy for linguistic data in Switzerland.

In the context of the requirements of Open Science and of FAIR principles, on the one hand, and of that of more challenging data sets (such as, sensitive or with copyright issues), on the other hand, we identified several gaps regarding the current situation in Switzerland that are going to be addressed thanks to ORD project. Here (PDF, 82 KB) you can find detailed information about the gaps we identified and how we have addressed the gaps from the launch of the project until October 2024. Here is a panorama of our main outcomes up to October 2024:
2. Identifying and promoting standard data formats
3. CLARIN-CH Working Groups
4. CLARIN-CH Documentation Platform
5. Hands-on workshops and trainings
6. CLARIN-CH Day on September 9, 2024
