Researchers at the University of Cologne produce and publish a wide range of corpora and other datasets in the field of language resesearch. These resources are often the result of years of work and are of great value to the research community.
The Data Center for the Humanities (DCH) has taken on stewardship for many of these corpora and datasets. We are committed to the long-term preservation of these resources and to making them available to the research community. The DCH is a member of the CLARIN and NFDI Text+ research infrastructure and is committed to the FAIR principles of data stewardship (Wilkinson et al. 2016) and in the case of language resources connected to indigenous communities, we are also committed to the CARE principles.
The corpora and other datasets are published through the Language Archive Cologne or archived via the DCH data archiving service. The Language Archive Cologne is a Core Trust Seal certified repository and is a member of the CLARIN and NFDI Text+ research infrastructures as well as of the DELAMAN network.
Researchers at the University of Cologne have also deposited corpora and other datasets in other DELAMAN language archives as well as in other repositories. These datasets are also listed below.
