CLARIN K-Centres: Knowledge Centres

K-centres share their knowledge and expertise on one or more aspects of the domain covered by the CLARIN infrastructure.

The focus of CLARIN is on language resources (in all modalities, from all regions and with any topical orientation) and K-centres serve researchers and educators from any discipline where language plays one of its many roles, ranging from object of study, a means of communication or expression, a means to store and extract information, object of learning or teaching activities, to training source for data-driven analytics, and many others.  

  • TRTC - Terminology Resources and Translation Corpora

    This K-Centre is located at the University of Vienna, Centre for Translation Studies:

    The K-centre provides information and training to users on the preparation and documentation of translation-related resources, in particular terminology resources and translation corpora. This includes inquiries submitted to the Helpdesk related to tools, methods, data, and guidance in seeking further expert support. The service does not focus on language resources in particular languages, but is language independent.
