The Norwegian national infrastructure for language resources and technology is called CLARINO https://clarin.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8bae79dc9813797e81387ebaa&id=b3788be954&e=dbbd1b752d.
The recent Tour de CLARIN posts include an introduction to CLARINO https://clarin.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8bae79dc9813797e81387ebaa&id=15c428dc06&e=dbbd1b752d, the recourse Nordic Dialect Corpus https://clarin.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8bae79dc9813797e81387ebaa&id=5df38032b5&e=dbbd1b752d (NDC) and the tool Glossa – a user-friendly corpus search system https://clarin.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8bae79dc9813797e81387ebaa&id=f60206d3b7&e=dbbd1b752d.

*Four CLARIN centres successfully concluded certification*
PORTULAN CLARIN https://clarin.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8bae79dc9813797e81387ebaa&id=1c840df331&e=dbbd1b752d has been recognized as a new B-Centre by the CLARIN assessment committee. After reassessment the CLARIN-PL Language Technology Centre https://clarin.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8bae79dc9813797e81387ebaa&id=e08444ca7b&e=dbbd1b752d, Bayerisches Archiv für Sprachsignale https://clarin.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8bae79dc9813797e81387ebaa&id=0658fc3b8e&e=dbbd1b752d and CLARINO Bergen Center https://clarin.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8bae79dc9813797e81387ebaa&id=c209de3c52&e=dbbd1b752d were re-certified as B-Centres.
CLARIN B-Centres are technical centres, they are the backbone of CLARIN. These units, often a university or an academic institute, offer the scientific community access to resources, services and knowledge on a sustainable basis. Therefore, there are strict criteria to become a CLARIN B-Centre: it should be based on a stable technical and institutional foundation.
*SAFMORIL officially recognized as CLARIN Knowledge Centre*
CLARIN ERIC is proud to announce that SAFMORIL https://clarin.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8bae79dc9813797e81387ebaa&id=afdf595d0f&e=dbbd1b752d, the CLARIN Knowledge Centre for Systems and Frameworks for Morphologically Rich Languages has been officially recognized as a CLARIN K-Centre.
SAFMORIL brings together researchers and developers in the area of computational morphology and its application during language processing. The focus of SAFMORIL is actual, working systems and frameworks based on linguistic principles and providing linguistically motivated analyses and/or generation on the basis of linguistic categories.
*al-qāmūs l-muḥīṭ: a digital Arabic dictionary @ ILC4CLARIN *
The CLARIN-IT Repository hosted at the ILC4CLARIN Centre provides the community with a lexical resource for the Arabic language. The resource results from automatic extraction from the medieval dictionary al-qāmūs l-muḥīṭ, which was compiled by the Persian lexicographer Al-firuz’abadi and is the most considerable and comprehensive abridged dictionary of the Arabic language. Considering that Arabic is a language with few language resources, the release of al-qāmūs l-muḥīṭ: a digital Arabic dictionary is important for the scientific community because it contains a monolingual resource resulting from the automatic conversion of the medieval dictionary as well as a bilingual (Arabic-English) resource resulting from the automatic translation of lemmas and senses obtained using An Advanced Learner's Arabic-English Dictionary by H. Anthony Salmoné.
*EuroScientist Technoculture podcast on the value of Europeana, EOSC, CLARIN and DARIAH*
In a recent episode of the EuroScientist Technoculture podcast, Europeana director Harry Verwayen talks to interviewer Federica Bressan about Europeana and the value it provides for research and research professionals. He highlights Europeana's connection to EOSC, DARIAH and CLARIN, and the need for researchers to engage in the creation of both manual and automated semantic enrichments to the data Europeana has collected.
