If you want to determine which tools might be relevant to you, you should try to identify in which phase of your research project you are. We list the phases of a research project that we distinguish below, and give some clarification of what we mean with it. For each phase there is a link which launches a query that lists the tools that are (in our view) relevant to that phase. Tools can of course be relevant to multiple phases.
Obtaining Data and Software, show
- Search for and select data /software already contained in the infrastructure
- Incorporate existing data / software into the infrastructure
- Create new data, inter alia via crowd sourcing, or software, and incorporate them into the infrastructure
- This also includes the creation of derivative new data, models or software from existing resources
Enriching data with various annotations, show
- Automatically
- Manually, possible automatically bootstrapped
- Linking to external resources
Searching in the data, show
- Upload (possibly enriched) data into a search engine
- Search and browse in the data, analyze the data and the results of searching
Analysis of data or of search results, show
- Selecting, grouping, sorting, and filtering data
Visualising search and analysis results, show
- Creating graphical representations of complex data or analysis results
Publishing the data and software in the infrastructure, show
- Make them visible (through metadata), accessible, and referable
- Ensure safe long term storage
- In the CLARIN context usually by a recognized CLARIN Centre
Creating and publishing enhanced publications, show
- An enhanced publication is a scientific article together with (links to) associated data and tools
Consultation of Literature, show
- consulting literature that is relevant to the research question. This normally not something that CLARIN supports because it is a task typical for libraries. However, with the Taalportaal, which implements a range of scientific publications in a database and contains links to corpora and to queries in corpora in the CLARIN infrastructure, even CLARIN offers this functionality.
