Research project Swe-CLARIN
Swe-CLARIN develops research infrastructure for the humanities and social sciences that uses data in the form of natural language — text, speech or signs. In this way, individual researchers do not need to build the structure themselves.
Research infrastructure is the body of underlying resources and systems that enables research and that, as far as possible, is shared across the community. At the heart of this is annotated corpora and other datasets as well as tools to process and analyse them. In Swe-CLARIN, most of the development concerns infrastructure for text and signs.
Swe-CLARIN is part of the National Language Bank, one of the Swedish Research Council's national infrastructure consortia. The project consists of eleven nodes, of which Stockholm University, represented by the Department of Linguistics, is one.
Swe-CLARIN has been conducted in two phases, 2014–18 and 2019–24, and has recently received a new grant for 2025–28 with increased funding for research infrastructure for sign data.
