Abstract

The initiative CLARIN-DK (starting as a Danish preparatory DK-CLARIN project) is a part of the Danish research infrastructure initiative; DIGHUMLAB. In this paper the aims; status; and the current challenges for CLARIN-DK are presented. CLARIN-DK focuses on written and spoken language resources; multimodal resources and tools; and involving users is a core issue. Users involved in a preparatory project gave input that led to the current user interface of the resource repository website; clarin.dk. Clarin.dk is now in the transition phase from a repository to a research infrastructure; where researchers and students can be supported in their research; education and studies. Clarin.dk works with a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA); uses eSciDoc and Fedora Commons; and is primarily based on open source solutions. A key issue in CLARIN-DK is using standards such as TEIP5; IMDI; OLAC; and CMDI for resource metadata. Optional metadata fields suggested by users have been included when it could comply with the standards; allowing for the diversity needed when describing the research material. Current work includes normalising metadata naming in the search pages; and making search more user-friendly by adding selectable pick-lists for query values. Also a consolidation of metadata quality is currently performed by changing some metadata values to a more harmonized set of values. All deposited metadata are maintained. Clarin.dk will apply for assessment as a CLARIN ERIC B centre in 2013 enforcing the sustainability and persistency of the infrastructure. Clarin.dk has already joined the national identity federation WAYF; implemented SSL-certificates; and offers harvesting of metadata via OAI-PMH as part of the CLARIN centre requirements.
