Description
The purpose of this session is to introduce the research infrastructure to conference participants who are new to CLARIN. The session will begin with a brief introduction to the infrastructure, followed by demos of the CLARIN central services to show the participants how to find, process, analyse, deposit, share and archive language research data and resources. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and try out some of the services themselves.
