BMBF joint project QUEST: Quality-Established: Testing and application of curation criteria and quality standards for audiovisual, annotated language data

The BMBF joint project QUEST has been funded for three years since June 1, 2019. The consortium consists of the five CKLD partners based in Germany and the IDS in Mannheim. The project aims to develop quality standards and curation criteria for annotated AV language data. Building on this, QUEST will develop and test quality assurance procedures for the creation and curation of such resources and their reuse potential. The project focuses on digital research data that is collected in language documentation and multilingualism research, but whose reuse potential extends far beyond these disciplines. The Cologne team is entrusted with the development of quality standards and curation criteria for metadata. This work is being carried out in close coordination with the activities of the CLARIN ERIC CMDI Task Force.
