<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div dir="auto" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Dear all,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">as announced, I’m sending you two reports we have been working on with Jakob Lenardič in the past couple of months.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1. An overview of the available Parliamentary records and corpora that was prepared in the context of the recent CLARIN-PLUS workshop in Sofia: <a href="https://office.clarin.eu/v/CE-2017-1019-Parliamentary-data-report.docx" style="color: purple;" class="">https://office.clarin.eu/v/CE-2017-1019-Parliamentary-data-report.docx</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 107%;" class="">Our motivation for this report is to identify to what extent these resources exist
and are easily available for all CLARIN member countries, check which information about the resources is
available, and highlight the aspects in which accessibility of these
corpora as well as the presentation of the relevant information can be
optimised from a User Involvement perspective. As you can see from the report, Parliamentary corpora are available for nearly all CLARIN member countries, which is very good news. However, it is not easy to find many of them through VLO, and some of them could benefit from more comprehensive metadata. This is why we have put together a set of optimization recommendations that would improve recall and ranking of these corpora in VLO </span>with the help from Dieter, Twan and Menzo.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Comments and suggestions are welcome, as are updates of any information which we might have missed, we would be happy to prepare an updated version at the end of the year or so.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">2. An overview of CLARIN’s involvement in COST Actions: <a href="https://office.clarin.eu/v/CE-2017-1018-COST-actions-report.docx" style="color: purple;" class="">https://office.clarin.eu/v/CE-2017-1018-COST-actions-report.docx</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Here our aim is to outline the available COST Actions instruments that could be used to increase user engagement, uptake and dissemination for CLARIN, and to give an overview of current COST Action membership by the national consortia in the COST Actions most relevant for CLARIN. We provide links to COST Action membership with emails so that national consortia can easily get in touch with the researchers working on a particular topic in their country to expand their user base. We also suggest the most relevant new COST Actions national consortia could join for promoting and increasing the uptake of their resources, tools and services at the national as well as international level.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Comments and suggestions are much appreciated as well as feedback on any successful new links established based on this report.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Darja</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><div class="">
