Infrastructure for Other Humanities Disciplines: Introduction

Abstract

Though CLARIN originated in the linguistics and computational linguistics communities, CLARIN-LC (in particular CLARIN-NL) covers a lot of other Humanities disciplines. This is in part due to the bottom-up approach for subprojects for data curation and soware demonstrators, and in part to the active policy to include these other disciplines, implemented with an interactive user survey and active ‘evangelising’ among researchers of all Humanities disciplines. We will rst provide a brief overall overview of the relevant data and soware that resulted from CLARIN-LC (section 25.2), and then summarise the topics of the chapters of this part (section 25.3).
