| Area of competence | Digital Resources for the Languages in Ireland and Britain provides advice and support to researchers and others who want to find and use software programmes and digital datasets in the native languages of Britain and Ireland, in all their varieties, in contemporary and historic forms, as well as other languages as they are used in this region. The knowledge centre is virtual and distributed, with a central online presence and contact point at https://www.clarin.ac.uk/dr-lib. Information to orient and help users is posted online, and queries will be responded to by a network of experts centred around the CLARIN-UK consortium, plus additional experts in key languages and domains, such as the Irish National Corpus project (see https://www.gaois.ie/en/about/info), and experts across Europe in the CLARIN network.
The centre aims to be a source of authoritative answers for questions like "Is there a semantic tagger for Welsh?", "How do I do OCR for Scottish Gaelic?", "Is there a corpus of Irish-language social media posts?", and "Is there an online dictionary for Old English?" |
