[Corpora-List] Introducing IULA-UPF CLARIN Competence Center for the "Big Bang Data" Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona

[IULATRL, Bústia Compartida]

Researchers of the Humanities and Social Sciences now have the ability to
analyze the large amounts of texts that the increasing digitization of
materials has placed at their disposal. The appearance of terms such as
"Digital Humanities," "Computational Social Sciences", "Culturomics" or
"Big Data Humanitie, Arts and Social Sciences" show the impact that text
analysis aided by statistical techniques, mark-up languages and language
technology tools have had in managing such data.


The *Competence Center IULA CLARIN-UPF (UPF IULA-CCC)* has the mission to
promote the use of language technologies, particularly for research in
Humanities and Social Sciences. Under the premise "Let your texts work for
you", it encourages the use of digital texts and assesses the technologies
available to extract all kinds of information from available textual
materials.


On *October 2, as part of the session "Big Data for Humanities"* organized
by Dr. Maria Morrás and Juan Antonio Rojas of the Department of Humanities
UPF, and *part of the "Big Bang Data" project of the CCCB*, Dr. Nuria Bel
will present the new CLARIN Competence Center IULA-UPF.


The IULA-UPF CLARIN Competence Center is a collaborating center of the
CLARIN research infrastructure for Humanities and Social Sciences, along
with centers in Germany, Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Netherlands, Poland,
and Czech Republic.


The IULA-UPF-CC –CLARIN was created with the mission to revitalize the use
of language technology research in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and
to advise researchers regarding access to data and applications in order
conduct experimental research with the objective of extracting data from
texts.


Thanks to funding from the FEDER Programme[1] and the University Pompeu
Fabra, IULA-UPF-CCC has developed a catalog designed to facilitate access
to the use of computer applications for potential beneficiaries. The
catalog, based on linked open data (Linked Open Data, LOD), allows you to
view and connect to any open sources of information from the entire www.
