🇪🇸 CLARIAH-ES | Inauguration of the Digital Humanities Space at the Elder Museum of Science and Technology
The Elder Museum is the first in Spain to offer a permanent exhibition devoted to the digital humanities. The space will bring the public closer to research and technology developed by the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria’s Institute of Textual Analysis and Applications (IATEXT), a member of the CLARIAH-ES consortium. Through the use of information panels and large touchscreens, visitors to the museum have the opportunity to engage with various LT tools and applications created at IATEXT, such as Epigraphia 3D, BDME TIP, SententiApp, and Números TIP.

🇧🇪 CLARIN-BE | New Release: Parsed Corpus of Southern-Dutch Dialects (GCND)
This linguistically annotated corpus is based on dialect recordings from the 1960s and 1970s: Voices from the past, supplemented with recordings form the Meertens Institute and a number of new recordings. The corpus provides audio aligned transcriptions in two layers, one closer to the dialect and one closer to Standard Dutch, both part-of-speech tagged and syntactically tagged. The corpus allows for large-scale research into syntactical particularities of the southern Dutch dialects, and is searchable for concordance querying as well as for treebank querying by example. All results are linked with the transcribed audio files.
