14	CLARIN:EL	Speaker: Kanella Pouli, fr Athena RC/ILSP, Greece. Abstract: CLARIN:EL is a Research infrastructure for Language Resources & Technologies (LRTs); it is the Greek part of the European CLARIN ERIC Infrastructure. It provides a multitude of assets related to Language Technology (LT) for and by Social Sciences & Humanities (and beyond), focusing mainly but not exclusively on Greek LRTs. The Central Inventory provides access to corpora, lexica, tools and language descriptions. Users can effortlessly locate desired resources using keywords and filters. Additionally, the infrastructure hosts a Workbench, i.e. a variety of services to process corpora from the Central Inventory or data submitted by registered users. For those eager to contribute their own data, a user-friendly interface enables the creation of metadata records for their resources. All the information regarding the infrastructure, the CLARIN network, and the NLP community in Greece can be found in the user guide, portal, and NLP:EL Knowledge Centre. Brief Bio: Computational Linguist, MSc., KP's work focuses on the design and improvement of repositories, the development and adaptation of metadata schemata for language resource documentation as well as the collection and processing of language resources.
