Dear CLARIN centres,<br>
<br>
You might have heard about the current development of the <a
href="https://office.clarin.eu/v/CE-2015-0684-LR_switchboard_spec.pdf">CLARIN
LR switchboard</a>. In this context the team in Tübingen (Claus
Zinn, Marie Hinrichs) is currently developing an early alpha-version
of this tool which suggests web applications for further processing
of resources based on the resource’s file type. Therefore we are
looking for <b>web applications</b> that match the following
requirements:<br>
<ul>
<li>It can process one or more files, ideally providing some
linguistic analysis (parsing, named entity recognition,
summarization, ...) or transformation (translation, speech
recognition, ...)<br>
</li>
<li>The URL of the input file(s) to be processed (and optional
parameters like language identification and mime type) can be
passed on as a URL parameter (GET-request) or as a JSON
structure (POST-request)</li>
<li>The web application should be accessible to the CLARIN
community: either without a login or with a <a
href="https://www.clarin.eu/content/federated-identity">federated
login.</a></li>
</ul>
<p>What we are <b>not</b> looking for:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Web Services (so without a user interface)<br>
</li>
<li>Standalone applications (that need to be installed on a
computer)</li>
<li>Web applications that cannot process incoming files (e.g.
corpus query tools that only work on local data that has been
indexed before)<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>For the inclusion in the Switchboard we need minimally the
following information:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Name</b> of the web application</li>
<li><b>Description</b> of what it does<br>
</li>
<li>The <b>language(s)</b> it supports (<a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-3">ISO-639-3 code)</a></li>
<li>The <b>mimetype(s)</b> it supports</li>
<li>The <b>URL</b> of the web application to be invoked</li>
</ul>
<p>(But if you can think of additional information that you tool may
require, please let us know.)</p>
<ul>
</ul>
<p>If you have a candidate, please send this information to <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:switchboard@clarin.eu"><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:switchboard@clarin.eu">switchboard@clarin.eu</a></a>
and we will contact you about further steps.<br>
</p>
<p>Below you can find a snippet of an already registered web
application. Please note that this structure is currently mostly a
proposal and that it might be adjusted depending on the example
web applications that are submitted for inclusion.<br>
