CLARIN, DSA

[Steven Gillis]

Dear Brian:

This is excellent news, since it represents an international recognition of the outstanding technical qualities of CHILDES/TALKBANK. Moreover, since the DSA recognition implies -- as far as I understand it -- also (indirect) entrance of the CHILDES/TALKBANK corpora into the Web of Science (WoS), this represents a recognition of the intellectual efforts researchers put into data collection, transcription and coding.  

Congratulations to you for your excellent guidance over the years and to Leonid and Franklin for the technical implementation.

Best, and see you soon in Amsterdam at the upcoming IASCL meeting,

Steven Gillis

TalkBank is the only CLARIN center outside of the EU, but hopefully there will be others in the future.  You will also now find the CLARIN logo at the bottom of the CHILDES and TalkBank pages.
>   The addition of CHILDES and TalkBank to CLARIN and the receipt of the DSA approval are based on the work that Leonid Spektor did for creating CMDI Metadata and Handle Server PIDs  and on work that Franklin Chen did to set up methods for SSL secure logon, XML validation, and InCommon federated login.  These various structures will be increasingly important in the future as CLARIN develops new web services and searching methods such as the Virtual Language Observatory.
