The CLARIN Knowledge Infrastructure for Linguistic and Language Technology Research

Abstract

While CLARIN is widely recognized for its technical infrastructure of language resources, tools, and services, its Knowledge Infrastructure is a vital and complementary pillar that supports researchers, educators, and developers in effectively using, sharing, and extending language data and technologies.
The CLARIN Knowledge Infrastructure promotes expertise exchange and best practices, and provides training and support across the research community. We present its main components and their relevance for the computational linguistics and digital humanities communities, with a focus on the Dutch and Flemish research landscape. We contextualize this by describing the knowledge infrastructure components in similar research infrastructures for other scientific domains.
